Summer 2024
New apprentices, new projects, and new updates from the Finishing Trades Institute of West Virginia and Region!
This summer has been busy and productive for our apprentices and IUPAT DC 53 members. Our members have been completing projects across the state while apprentices have been continuing training at our FTI facility and beyond.
IUPAT DC 53 has launched new communication initiatives so you can hear directly from our apprentices about their experience at FTI, watch weekly update videos from Brian Stanley, IUPAT DC 53 Business Manager, and Secretary-Treasurer, and check back here for monthly updates.
The exciting thing about the FTI program is that we are always welcoming new apprentices! Over the summer, we’ve welcomed new apprentices in various programs and new members to IUPATDC 53.
Discover what IUPAT DC 53's water blasting apprentices have to say about union membership.
Hear firsthand experiences from DC 53's apprentices Cameron Crane, Brandon Shaul, and Emanuel Evans on the advantages of being part of our union.
