Testimonials


"In February 2015, I started as a First Year Cement Mason Apprentice with Local 514. After completing 4 weeks of school and training I was directly hired by Ajax Paving, Inc. I truly love my job and have learned a lot from my team in the field. I know that this is a very alternative choice of work for a woman but I have enjoyed the challenge and the experience of paving new paths for women in alternative male dominated fields - my Local 514 has given me this opportunity."

Desiree M. Lopez(Cement Mason)

"I am a graduate from the Union Local 514 Apprenticeship Program. The training I received prepared me for a career as a Union Cement Mason. I have since retired and would recommend anyone pursuing a career as a Union Cement Mason utilize the Apprenticeship Training Program."
