Millwright at Central South Carpenters & Millwrights Training Trust Fund

The Central South Carpenters & Millwrights Training Trust Fund sponsors this non-union Millwright Apprenticeship program based in Metairie, Louisiana. This employer-affiliated program provides a paid, structured training pathway for individuals seeking careers in industrial machinery installation and maintenance across Louisiana's industrial corridor and surrounding region.

Over four years, apprentices complete 8,000 hours of on-the-job training and 576 hours of related technical instruction. Training includes hands-on work installing and aligning industrial equipment, performing rigging operations, maintaining mechanical drive systems, and working with hydraulic and pneumatic components. Classroom instruction covers industrial safety, blueprint reading, mechanical theory, lubrication systems, and trade math.

Graduates earn journeyman millwright credentials and are ready to pursue careers in Louisiana's petrochemical, manufacturing, and industrial construction sectors. The program's paid structure means apprentices receive wages throughout all four years, offering a financially sound and practical alternative to traditional postsecondary training for those entering the industrial trades.
