随着4,300万美元的添加成就,在其培训空间中增加了220,000平方英尺的速度,并使该设施的规模增加了一倍以上,Carpenters的工会国际培训中心希望能够托管两倍的“学生”数量。

自2001年开业以来,该培训中心已经培训了50万人。

此外,包括扩大的Millwright培训区域,重点是发电,可再生能源工厂的建设和维护。还有一个脚手架的建筑区,有30 x 60英尺的可伸缩屋顶,外加30个教室和两个大型会议厅。

“This expansion will enable us conduct classes concurrently and host over 20,000 visitors,” says William K. Irwin Jr., executive director of the Carpenters International Training Fund. “Our goal is to have all of our 500,000 members out here at least once.”

访客必须首先接受100个小时的先决条件培训,然后才能被邀请到拉斯维加斯设施,该设施像一个独立的城市一样运作,并设有许多现场设施。

An average training center stay lasts about six days, with food, lodging and transportation provided. The facility, which offers 100 courses more than 300 times a year, can conduct 900-person capacity classes and feed up to 500 people in one sitting.

木匠在北美拥有200多个培训中心和3500名全职教练;工会每年在技能培训上花费约2亿美元。

“This is a ‘train the trainer’ facility,” Irwin says. “This is where trainers from all over the country come to learn and sharpen their skills. There is work coming up and we want to ready for it.”

木匠将其中的大部分工作视为医疗保健和能源部门的发生。工会覆盖地板铺设,米尔赖特,橱柜/磨坊,车载,内部系统,桩驾驶,住宅木工和一般木工。

Students learn through a combination of lectures, videos and textbooks, as well as live demonstrations, tests and hands on work.

Carpenters Union总统道格·班尼斯(Doug Banes)在一份声明中说:“我们知道,我们的承包商和成员在当今市场上竞争受过良好训练的劳动力是必要的。”“这就是为什么我们完全致力于维护和提高所有成员的技能。”

总部位于拉斯维加斯的Penta Building Group是最新成员的总承包商,杜松子酒协会(Gin Wong Associates)洛杉矶(Los Angeles)担任Project Architect。
