A strong union needs skills, benefits and ACTION!
After spending some time in college to become an early childhood educator, Keisha soon realized it was not the career path she wanted to pursue. Having always expressed an interest in carpentry, Keisha picked up the phone one day and called the Carpenters union to inquire about the job opportunities available.
Almost 23 years later, Keisha has never looked back and is thankful that she made the decision to apply for the apprenticeship program. She is a leader on and off the jobsite, with many roles, including Chair of the Sisters in the Brotherhood committee and is also a NASRCC eBoard member and delegate.
“Becoming a union carpenter was the best decision of my life and I still love my job every day! It’s great to feel professional every time I step on a jobsite.”
