Apprentice Information
Participants include apprentices from each of the Iron Worker Local Unions in Maryland, the Carolinas, Virginia and the District of Columbia. During the competition participants are judged on specific industry skill sets in various events such as welding, torch cutting, tying rebar, reading survey equipment, rigging (reeving and knots) steel for installation on a job site, ornamental window assembly and climbing a 35-foot steel column. Contestants also take a written exam the scores they receive from each event tallied throughout the competition. Winners from this event go on to compete at the bi-annual International Ironworker Apprenticeship Competition.
