Associated Builders & Contractors Inc., Keystone Chapter (ABC Keystone) has announced the graduates of the 2004 ABC Keystone construction apprenticeship program.
This year, ABC Keystone graduated more than 65 apprentices into the carpentry, electrical, HVAC, masonry, plumbing and sheet metal trades. They have completed a three- or four-year extensive classroom/on-the-job-training education program that will enable them to become journeypersons in their respective trade.
“ABC keystone is proud of our graduates and the journey they have completed to become educated and experienced members of the construction industry,” stated Jerry Watson, chairman of the Keystone Chapter.
“ABC believes in the value of an educated, well-trained, workforce, and congratulates these graduates for their hard work and dedication to the construction industry and the employers for helping them become valuable contributors in our efforts to build our communities safely, on time and within budget.”
The ABC Keystone Chapter graduation was held at the Wyndham Harrisburg/Hershey in Harrisburg, PA. Anthony Swoope and Allen Freedman were the keynote speakers for this program.
Starting as a sheet metal apprentice in Akron, OH, “Tony” Swoope has risen to become the administrator of Office of Apprenticeship Training, Employer and Labor Services (OATELS), formerly known as Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT), headquartered in Washington, D.C.
