Sheet Metal Worker Apprenticeship
WHAT IS A SHEET
METAL WORKER?
Sheet metal workers
are part of the building and construction trades. In shops we lay out,
fabricate, and assemble sheet metal products used for heating, ventilation
and air conditioning systems as well as architectural sheet metal items
to be installed on building construction and renovation. At the construction
project we install the items we make. Sheet Metal Workers also design,
fabricate, and install a wide variety of products used in industrial
and food processing applications, of which involve heavier metals and
specific knowledge and skills of fabrication and various welding processes.
The Sheet Metal Worker is one whose pride in skills and craftsmanship
of the trade has been handed down from journeyman to apprentice for
many generations.
