Hello Sisters and Brothers,
The end of the year is near, a new training schedule will be available coming January 20th, 2022. There will be new trainings added for 2023. Some trainings will start back up in Espanola. There are other trainings that will need to be held at the training site due to hands on training. CDL Training is back in full swing for our Bi-Annual Training. We are working on new and exciting training coming for Journeyman and Apprentices.
I would like to welcome 5 new Apprentices accepted on November 17th, Aaron Sovey, Tony Rodriguez, Marcos Romero, Christy Smith, and Lloyd Andrews.
If you are planning on coming to the training site and you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID, have been in contact with someone who has tested positive, please do not come to the training site.
I want to personally thank Crane Service Inc. for partnering with us to assist with training our Crane Apprentices. Working with them has been nothing short of pleasant. I look forward to getting this program going. Also a big thank you to Franklins Earthmoving in starting the process to accept apprentices for the first time.
Please visit our new Member Assistance Program page for information on ways the Operating Engineers Local 953 and your health insurance can help you with addiction, depression, anxiety, etc. We are here for our members and we are here for those who are struggling in their personal lives.
Our office hopes all of our brothers and sisters have a wonderful, safe, and relaxing Thanksgiving.
Thank you,
Kristen Spath
