Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply for the Apprenticeship?
Download the application above, once you have all the required documents and application filled out, you can email the application in to bac4apprenticeship@gmail.com.
After I fill out an application, what is the next step?
If you return a complete application with all the documentation, you will be invited to the next hands on evaluation and interviews. The hands on evaluation consists of a math and ruler test, along with a hands on application of laying brick (no previous experience is required, instructions will be given) and interviews with the instructor and local JATC members.
What is the purpose of the hands on evaluation?
The evaluation not only gives us an idea if you are a right fit for the trade but if bricklaying is the right fit for you. Some find it is not what they are expecting while others find they have a knack for the trade and want to pursue it further. No previous experience is required. Local JATC members are looking at how well someone takes direction, how quickly they get a feel for the work, and if there is a true interest in the trade.
What if I am not accepted after the hands on evaluation?
Do not be discouraged if you are not accepted the first time at hands on evaluations. Many come back the second and third time to become accepted. The apprentices program will hold on to your records for one year.
