Texas Carpenters and Millwrights Training Trust Meeting in San Antonio [1]
Last week, I attended the Texas Carpenters and Millwrights Training Trust meeting in San Antonio. Approximately 15 people participated – a blend of management and labor trustees – from the major cities in Texas. We also had a special guest, Dennis Donahue, the newly appointed head of the Millwrights Union for an 11 state area.
We had a special presentation by Kenneth Posey of the Houston Community College; his objective was to explain the relationship between the HCC and the Houston Apprentice School. He is a fine gentleman, a registered engineer, and a former director of the Pipe Fitters Apprentice Program. He is a passionate advocate for craft training.
He opened his remarks by distributing the brochure and bragging about the initiative Construction Career Collaborative (C3) [9], suggesting it will only enhance craft training everywhere. He was genuinely enthusiastic about C3 and his remarks were well-received. It was good to see that the C3 message is being circulated around our industry.
