Project Leadership Perspectives: Central Midwest Carpenters Union
Join us for a visit to a simulated site—a training facility dedicated to construction apprenticeship, the Central Midwest Carpenters - Greenwood Campus. One of ten training facilities within Indiana & Kentucky, the Greenwood campus provides training for carpenters, millwright, and floor coverers.
