SMART’s registered apprenticeship programs set the standard for workforce training in the sheet metal industry. These state-of-the-art, tuition-free ‘‘earn as you learn’’ programs are regulated by the U.S. Department of Labor or state or provincial labor departments, and they allow an individual to learn the breadth of a construction occupation, combining classroom learning with on-the-job training while progressively increasing wages and benefits. These earn-as-you-learn programs pay family-sustaining wages and provide health care coverage and retirement benefits from day one. **[Find out more about our 148 sheet metal training centers at this link.](https://www.sheetmetal-iti.org/find-a-training-center)**
