It’s National Apprenticeship Week – Sec. Acosta Pays a Visit to IUPAT

On Monday, November 12, U.S. Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta kicked off National Apprenticeship Week by visiting the IUPAT Finishing Trades Institute of District Council 51 in the Washington, DC area to lead a discussion on how apprenticeship can make a difference in a growing economy.

The International Union of Painters and Allied Trades is holding events at its training centers throughout the United States to show neighbors, local leaders and students how apprenticeship is a path toward a successful professional and personal career.
