Shawn I teach a Pre-Apprenticeship Program at the Washington Correctional Center and I came across your youtube videos. I share these with my students because you provide great insight to apprenticeship and how it works. Your first day as an apprentice is what I always start out with, of course, and we have lively discussions about being prepared and showing up early. You bring a realness to this and my guys truly appreciate your videos. It has been great to follow your progress. Thanks!!

Great job man!!!!!

Appreciate it rob 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

as an apprentice i feel it matters most that you just have a vehicle that is reliable and not gonna be breaking down. and yeah, like you, as an apprentice Im going to be more worried more about fuel economy

Hey Shawn. Would you say that a pipe fitter works mostly indoors or outside? Or both? Which one more? Hope all is well

I recently took the test and passed it! I got high 70s on it they don’t tell you your actual score. I’m worried if it’s not high enough. They say to get in the range of 80-85

Nice video man! Do you think Veterans have a better chance of getting in the Union than non veterans? Why do they like hiring Veterans so much?

Veterans definitely have an edge of getting in the union. Plus there’s a program called vip for veterans you might want to look into.
