Hire the Best for Your Industrial Project
The standards for quality, safety, and performance are tough in the industrial coatings market. That's
why it makes good sense to employ the best-an FCAC contractor. Our organization has made a long-time
commitment to training, and we have developed our very own industrial apprenticeship, through our Joint
Apprenticeship and Training Committee.
Our three-year industrial apprenticeship combines our rigorous general curriculum, the Finishing Trades
Industrial applicator training program, and third party certifications well-recognized throughout the industry.
Our blended approach to coursework ensures that you, as an industrial contractor, engage the most professional
workforce. From apprenticeship through journeyman status, FCAC workers master all the skills and knowledge
to make your project a success.
The Benefit to Your Bottom Line: Safety First
Accidents on the job create liability for a contractor. Moreover, inexperience and lack of know-how can cause
project delays. When you engage an FCAC member, you are assured that your project will go smoothly-on time and
budget. Our unique approach to training gives FCAC apprentices classroom, hands-on, and actual jobsite experience
at a variety of locations. Just take a look at some of the safety training programs we offer our apprentices
