For young blue-collar workers, the job prospects are looking good, experts say BY CARRIE MASON-DRAFFEN, Newsday, NY
The workers in greatest demand will include carpenters, iron workers, cement masons and bricklayers.
At a construction apprenticeship competition in Manhattan last month, some participants were upbeat about their career choices.
Bayside resident Steven Barrick, a 28-year-old old millwright, took first place in his category by following blueprints requiring him to use precision tools to cut metal shafts to within one-thousandth of an inch.
He honed that skill during a four-year apprenticeship with the New York City District Council of Carpenters Labor Technical College, which sponsored the annual contest. He finished the program in January and will graduate in June. As a millwright he learned to read blueprints to install and maintain heavy equipment in industrial settings.------------------------------------------- posted 7:55 AM :: reference link ::
