National Apprenticeship Week, held November 13-19, 2017, is an annual celebration of appenticeships founded by the Department of Labor (DOL). IMI and IMTEF marked the occassion by highlighting successful International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) apprentices from around the country on social media. 

From the satisfaction of working with their hands, to the pride that comes with finishing a project that will last for generations to come, and the great wages and benefits they earn as BAC members, each of our apprentices told us in their own words why they love their craft. 

Enjoy a selection of popular posts from our National Apprenticeship Week social media celebration, and follow IMI on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn for more inspiring member stories.
