Summary
District Council 9 is set to launch a recruitment drive for its Drywall Taper/Finisher apprenticeship program starting October 3, 2025. Held at the union’s training center in Long Island City, NY, this initiative aims to equip aspiring tradespeople with essential skills through a combination of hands-on and classroom training, with applications available on a first-come, first-served basis until 500 are distributed or the recruitment period ends on October 16.
This recruitment drive reflects a growing commitment to providing New Yorkers with stable career pathways in the construction industry, offering opportunities for competitive wages and benefits. As the demand for skilled workers continues to rise, programs like this play a crucial role in building a robust workforce capable of meeting the challenges of a complex building market.
Why this matters for apprenticeships
This initiative is significant for registered apprenticeship programs as it highlights the importance of training and skill development in the trades. By fostering a new generation of skilled workers, District Council 9 is not only supporting individual career advancement but also contributing to the overall strength of the labor market in New York.
