Laborers



Construction Craft Laborers build essential infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and tunnels. In addition, they construct industrial, commercial and residential buildings, and are at the forefront of sustainable energy projects. Laborers also perform environmental remediation work and other tasks including underground utility work, concrete placement, site preparation, demolition and clean-up activities. Additionally, laborers support other construction trades on the job. Most of the skills training for laborer apprentices is conducted at the New England Laborer's Training Trust Fund Academies in Hopkinton, MA and Pomfret, CT.
