We are honored to have 25 Helmets to Hardhats vets graduating from the Indiana Kentucky Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters in Ohio this weekend. Helmets to Hardhats helps our nation’s heroes transition from military to civilian life with a career in one of our trades.
This is a federally-approved apprenticeship program, meaning you can use your Montgomery G.I. Bill benefits to supplement your income.
Two organizations – one goal: Present great career choices for those who put their lives on hold to protect their homeland. The UBC’s Helmets to Hardhats program provides our nation’s military veterans with challenging careers in carpentry and a source of security for them and their families in the form of healthcare, retirement, and financial stability.
It’s even easier than ever to get started in a new career. The Ohio Carpenters’ Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program is offering a new direct-entry pre-apprenticeship program at no cost.
This 40-hour class offered during evenings or weekends acts as a condensed orientation into carpentry, millwright, pile driving, and floor covering careers. Enrolling now for classes beginning in March, Pre-Apprentices will learn to use power tools in a safe manner and will receive college credit for the hours.
Community service is a value that runs deep in union members. This is especially true in Louisville, Kentucky where they have just completed their third home renovation for Operation Victory.
Operation Victory is a coalition of Greater Louisville Area Unions, Non-Profit/Community Organizations, and Local Area Businesses joined together to rehabilitate vacant and abandoned homes for Homeless Veterans.
IKORCC & Local 1090 member SSG Arthur utilizes skills learned from his millwright apprenticeship to help soldiers and civilians working in Afghanistan.
The Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters is proud to work with our nation’s military veterans. Veterans like Local 1090’s SSG Jamie Arthur, who is currently stationed overseas with the Army’s 486th Engineer Company out of Monclova, Ohio.
SSG Arthur is using skills learned as a UBC Millwright to build relocatable buildings, essentially connex container housing units. His work helps give more housing options to military and civilians who work in the Middle East.

Local 413 member Jeremy Feltz was the first to earn his DSI certification.
Several IKORCC training centers are now offering Door Safety Inspection Certification. Obtaining the Door Safety Inspection (DSI) Certification gives our members the ability to inspect doors inside healthcare or educational facilities to ensure they are compliant with the National Fire Protection Act. This new certification also helps the IKORCC break into a new market and secure additional work in facilities that require Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) trained carpenters.
The IKORCC is the first council in the United Brotherhood of Carpenters to offer this DSI Certification. Since the creation of the class and the first members obtaining their credentials, we’ve made major progress.
