Apprentice For A Day
We were thrilled to bring back our industry favorite Apprentice for a Day workshop on February 23! For the second year running, SMART Local 265 has partnered with the SMACNA Greater Chicago YES Steering Committee to host our group of attendees for a day of hands-on training.
This annual event is an excellent opportunity for engineers, estimators, project managers and office staff to gain a better understanding into the versatile world of sheet metal fieldwork. Business Representative Matt Gugala kicked off the day with a brief meeting and Local 265 President & Business Manager John Daniel made closing comments with a Q&A session. Several instructors then put their expertise on display to demonstrate procedures and show us what it’s like to be an apprentice going through the program. Many thanks to Tony Aarns, Joe Carone, Chris James, Kelly Marcellis and Joel Orozco!
We’d also like to give a special shoutout to Dennis Moran for organizing the event, and to Tina Pate for her help. We look forward to next year’s event!
