WHY BECOME A CARPENTER APPRENTICE?

You will also attend classes and receive hands-on instruction on a semi-regular basis at the St. Louis Carpenters Training Center. The program takes approximately four years to complete.
- High wages and full benefits. Start building your career and your life now, while earning a good living. A carpenter apprentice currently starts at $33.62 per hour. Net pay after allocations for union dues, health insurance, pension and other benefits is $19.49 per hour.*
- Daytime hours, Monday through Friday. Enough said.
- Advancement opportunities. When you successfully complete the apprenticeship program, you will be a journey-level carpenter, and enter a higher wage bracket. A journey-level carpenter currently starts at $50.40 per hour. Net pay after allocations for union dues, health insurance, pension and other benefits is $31.30 per hour.* You will also earn up to 43 college credit hours, which you may use toward an Associate of Applied Science degree from one of the union’s approved colleges.* from the St. Louis-Kansas City HBA Wage & Fringe Benefits Chart dated May 1, 2021
