Sheet Metal Worker Apprenticeship Program

A journeyman sheet metal worker is a skilled craftsman who fabricates, installs, and repairs metal products, mainly sheet metal. You will use various tools and techniques to cut, shape, and join metal, for construction, HVAC, or other industries. The skills required include proficiency in using specialized tools such as shears, breakers, and welding equipment, as well as the ability to read and interpret blueprints, along with strong manual dexterity and physical stamina. Journeymen typically work independently or under the supervision of a supervisor, following safety guidelines and using the appropriate tools and equipment.
