EDUCATION/TRAINING

Changing Times

We at District  Council 53 think it is time to be seen. No matter where you look in any direction, you can see the finish products of the members that belong to the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades. Whether you are looking out of a window that our Glazers have installed or looking at a wall that the Dry Wall Finishers have finished and the Painters have either painted or put wall covering on, if you are driving down the road looking at a bridge or a factory it is a good bet that our industrial membership has sand blasted and painted them one time or another.

All other companies, businesses and even the other trades make sure that they are known and seen. We feel it is time to let the Membership, the Contractor, and the General Public know what the IUPAT stands for and what we can do for them in the way of safety training and skills training.

We have been working on a mobile training center that we can take anywhere to do the training that is required by the members of the IUPAT and here it is, we will not hide any more.

Our regular fall and spring training classes will be starting in the month of September. I have posted the scheduled class times below, also any member who would like to learn new skills or just polish up on the ones they all ready have are always more than welcome to attend these classes. Please note that classes may change do to the weather or other unforeseen problems, you will be notified of classes or class changes with the new W.A.R.N. phone service we have installed for the district council.

All Journeypersons who wish to attend should call the JATC office at 1 304 343 8259 ext 12 so we may make arrangements for you or to notify you of any changes that may take place.

All classes will start at 8:00 AM on the date stated on the calendar if you have any questions on ether the time or the place of the class you may contact me at  1–304–539-0208

Thank You;

Don Gundrum
