The Southwest Carpenters Training Fund is a federally recognized non-profit Taft-Hartley Trust Fund. We believe that a joint labor-management structure provides a stronger working relationship between management and the union and yields better results. The Trust’s activities include funding trade related apprenticeship programs and providing facilities and equipment that accelerate learning and reinforce a safe and healthy learning environment. We partner with local education agencies to ensure a professional approach to training. We employ continuous curriculum development to keep abreast of technological advances and encourage the work ethics and values that turn out highly skilled and productive workers. Our vocational programs provide union contractors the skilled manpower they need to succeed in this highly competitive industry.
