Re: IATSE Test Results
Please don't tell me you had a steady gig under local one juristiction and gave it up voluntarily ?. If you work 3 consecutive years at $35,000 per year, you can get voted in and you get your card.

Re: IATSE Test Results
Traditionally they've offered the test once every 3 years, roughly in late summer or early fall. Which means the next one would presumably be around September 2015. However, in talking to people in the office, the backlog of people awaiting apprentice placement is pretty significant, and so it's very likely they could wait an extra year to offer the test again. To give some perspective, a few people from the 2009 test are still being placed, and keep in mind that the slots those people fill won't become vacant for a MINIMUM of two years from when they start, and possibly up to three.

With the shops vacating the city for Jersey and upstate -- out of Local 1 jurisdiction, a good majority of the apprenticeships are drying up. Though from what I've heard Local 1 is eying expansion trying to bring the shops back into their territory, and hopefully opening up more apprenticeship positions.

It will be a cold day in hell before they even try to reach into Secaucus. PRG, 4 Wall, BML, Masque, etc will pull it and everyone else will follow. If they want to go after anything, they should go after Barclays. The fact that they did not pick up that place is really messed up, someone at the head office was not doing their job right.

Updating this post from years ago. I finally got the call from Local One a few weeks ago, and I just started working as an Apprentice at the Met. I had cored halfway down the list of accepted candidates, and it still took them well over two years to place me, so needless to say it's a very slow process - and when I was last at the hall, it sounds like the next Apprentice test won't be for a few more years as a result. I'm just starting there, but so far it seems great.
I don't want to go into too much detail on a public forum, but if anyone would like more information on the Apprentice program or Local One or whatever, feel free to shoot me a PM.

That's great news and a wonderful site to do your apprentice.
If in the electric shop, say hi to Tony Giovanetti. As well another old friend is floating around - Ken Arditto. I once trained Ken to run a carbon arc Super Trouper. Head shot, in light blue, 3/4 dowse, now follow the guy moving around the stage ! He's still there , many decades later, Hopefully as you will be as well.
