Why training? I've seen it work. I've seen us secure work and strengthen jurisdiction time and again, and I believe in the value of it. It's been my privilege to be part of Local 510's training program since its inception more than twenty years ago.
Most of you have been a part of our training program. Each one of can contribute to create a better, safer and happier work environment. We've come a long way, and there's still a long way to go. We are leaving a legacy that proves that our union is greater than the sum of its individual parts. That's something to be proud about.

This course will de-mystify the art of reading plans, drawings and blue prints. Participants will learn that these are only sets of instructions on how to assemble exhibits. While plans may look as meaningless as Egyptian hieroglyphics; they are only just simple line drawings and are written in plain English. The course will introduce the three basic types and their uses. Students will also be taught how to use an Architectural Scale, which lets you take a measurement directly from a drawing and convert it to feet and inches without using any math at all.
Passing this course will be based on: successfully completing a written test, in-class exercises, using a tape measure, and teacher evaluations.
