New BAC apprentices get critical job preparation skills through the IMI pre-job training programs. Along with craft-specific technical and hands-on training, they learn health and safety, workplace skills, and cross-craft familiarization in all the BAC crafts. When they complete the IMI program, they are ready to produce on the jobsite.

Apprentices

Skilled BAC craftworkers begin their careers as apprentices through their local Joint Apprentice and Training Committees (JATC’s). Apprenticeships typically last 3-4 years, during which apprentices receive classroom, shop, and on-the-job-training. Much of that training is provided by IMI at its regional and area training centers, as well as The Flynn Center in Maryland.
