I was accepted into a nearby Local's Apprenticeship Program, and was looking for insight on what to expect. Any advice or tips ? What to focus on? What NOT to do?
I've been told to try getting certified on specialty type equipment (Cranes, Pipeline, GPS etc.) will yield more steady work at better pay. Would you guys agree? Do I really have a choice in the matter? Is it worth limiting myself so early on?
I have 2 years' experience operating at a concrete recycling facility (Excavators, Loaders, Backhoes, Forklifts etc.), but have not had any formal training nor done any road work.
I'd greatly appreciate any input, thanks.
