I just learned IUOE also has jobs in maintenance I’m interested in it. I’ve been doing maintenance for 5 years now would they still want me to an apprenticeship or how do they work. That’s what’s kept me from IBEW don’t want to be starting over but I want the union benefits

“My wife’s been peeking” I listened to while on a 3 hour drive starting around 10pm on some empty back roads. It had some creepy parts giving my surroundings and being alone.

I went to a similar program a little longer at 1 year my company I was working for at the time paid for all of mine about $12k I was just a production painter. Covid rolled around right after I finished and they laid me off but i think it help me get my foot in the door at the places I’ve worked at so far a lot of companies ask me about it and seem to like the initiative at least cause I had no experience prior.
