[TheForge] Job hunting...

Howdy, Blake,
  If you're interested in learning a trade and are a good welder, you may
want to try the Ironworkers Union and see if you can get into the
apprenticeship program.  Give them a call and ask to talk to the
Apprenticeship Coordinator (I have their number as (303) 623-5386 in Denver,
which I think covers your area)...he should be able to give you an
application and a list of signatory contractors to talk to about sponsoring
you.  If you're interested, shoot me a note off-list at : [email protected]

Subject: [TheForge] Job hunting...

  Hey everybody, I have a question about finding a job.  I guess this could
be for people in the Colorado Springs area but perhaps others have tips for
me.  I am 18 and right now I work in a feed yard, been there for 4 years and
it is a job that is going to take me nowhere.  I have taken 1 year of
welding in HS and have tinkered around a bit on my forge but have had no
real training.  I want to find a job that I can start at where I can learn
more of a trade.  I am finding that a job in the metal field is kind of
hiden, buisnesses dont get out in the public, you have to find them.  Where
would be some places to look where not much experience is needed?  Thanks
for the help in advance, Blake
