Recently, Mid-America Carpenters Apprenticeship Graduations were held in Kansas City and St. Louis. These events celebrate the culmination of years of training and recognize these members for starting the next phase of their career – Journey Level.
More than 170 Brothers & Sisters who journeyed out got to spend the evening with their friends and loved ones to celebrate this major achievement in Kansas City. EST Kevin McLaughlin spoke as well as Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, Johnson County Commission Chair Mike Kelly, and Mid-America Carpenters Apprenticeship Director Craig Tripplett.
In St. Louis, more than 400 apprentice graduates and their families were celebrated at Union Station for this milestone achievement. Again, EST Kevin McLaughlin and Training Director Craig Triplett spoke alongside others who offered words of wisdom and encouragement for our newly installed journeymen and women beginning the next chapter in their careers as proud union tradespeople.
Congrats graduates! The best is yet to come!
