NOTICE TO ALL USERS

Change is all around us! Without Change we would not have progress. We have had this site for over a year now and have received many positive comments and some not so positive. We listened and are extremely excited to introduce our second generation website. To mention a few of the changes: members that attended classes as an apprentice or journeymen in the past will have a user name and password, this will eliminate entering your demographic information each time you register for a class, notifications will be sent reminding you that your certification or qualification card is about to expire and lastly under the Course tab, we have added search fields, you can search by class type, location and or date range. We hope these improvements help you navigate this site easier.

The Washington State Training Fund is currently going through some changes. The board of trustees has revised the one hour policy for a short term basis through the end of June 2011. If you have hours reported to the Trust Fund during the prior two years, you are eligible to attend classes (excluding welding.) If you have the time to attend a class or two, I strongly recommend that you do this now before the work picture improves. If a class is not available that you are interested in, call the nearest facility and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. During this tough economic time we hope this will help you enhance your skills and make you more employable.

We are open to all and any ideas that will make our Carpenter members more competitive in the work place. Feel free to contact me or one of our facilities if you have further questions.
