ILCJATP Educational Survey

The Illinois Laborers' and Contractors Joint Apprenticeship and Training Program (ILCJATP) and Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC) have partnered to meet the need for a baccalaureate program for the members of the Midwest Region of the Laborer's International Union of North America.

Both ILCJATP and SIUC recognize that the construction industry is experiencing a huge national shortage in qualified manpower and are also predicting that this shortage will only increase in the future unless recruitment and training in the construction industry increases tremendously.
