We are the Central Midwest Carpenters – over 35,000 men and women proudly building America. Entering our apprenticeship is the best way to start your career as a carpenter, millwright, pile driver or floor coverer. We take an “earn-as-you-learn” approach to our apprenticeship, ensuring you can earn a good, living wage with benefits for your family – right from the start.
Our apprenticeship is a four-year program that gives you a solid education, in the classroom and on the job. With apprentices starting year-round, you learn the best techniques—from the most experienced craftsmen and women in the field—building a foundation that will help you be successful throughout your career. You won’t go into debt getting your education either, in fact, you’ll make money throughout your apprenticeship.
