Laborers Training School

She didn't wait for strength. She built it.

No classroom can teach this. Our apprentices are out learning scaffold systems, running heavy equipment, finishing concrete, and mastering the trades that keep Southern California built and running hands-on, from day one.

This is training at Laborers Training School Azusa: real tools, real jobsites, real crews building real careers. Swipe through to see what a day in the program actually looks like.

Another Apprenticeship Entry Assessment in the books.

These candidates showed up ready to work. Hard hats on. Hands in. They put in the strength, stamina, and teamwork it takes to earn a place with the Laborers.

That day’s agility work included 92 lb. sandbags, 12-foot planks, cinder blocks, shoveling, and loaded wheelbarrows.

The AEA is a 5-day process: enrollment and a drug test, three days of physical agility, and an oral exit interview. It is the first real step toward a union career you can build on.

Honor and Remembrance: September 11th

The Laborers Training School pauses to honor and remember the heroes, fallen workers, and innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001.

We pay tribute to the incredible bravery of the first responders, building trade professionals, and everyday citizens who stepped up in our nation’s darkest hours.

Today, and every day, we stand united in strength, solidarity, and remembrance.

HAPPY LABOR DAY FROM LABORERS TRAINING SCHOOL!

Today, we recognize the hardworking men and women who show up every day and help build our communities, our infrastructure, and our future.

Labor Day is a time to celebrate the pride that comes from hard work, the value of skilled labor, and the people who keep our industry moving forward.

To all of our Laborers, apprentices, journeyworkers, instructors, and construction professionals, thank you for your dedication, your skills, and the work you do every day.

We hope you take some time this Labor Day to relax, enjoy time with family and friends, and take pride in everything you help build.

Happy Labor Day!

Building Skills. Building Futures.
