ASSOCIATION OF BUILDING TRADES EDUCATIONAL COLLEGES

ABTEC is a collection of Trade Union owned Colleges that strive to provide specialized industry directed training. Each College is purpose built, specific to the trade it represents. All of our programs are designed with input from industry and union to address current and future skills requirements... The Atlantic Canada Regional Council is home to the Carpenters Union, Local 579, and the Millwright Union, Local 1009. We represent more than 2000 members in Newfoundland and Labrador and ensure members receive good wages, benefits and pension plans to secure the future for them and their families. We ensure employers are committed to safety and fairness on every job site and in return, we give employers an assurance that when we dispatch a tradesperson, they will receive a highly qualified, trained, and safety-oriented worker.
