These men and women were the focal point of a graduation ceremony, where Texas Workforce Commissioner Julian Alvarez, who is consistently involved with the Austin apprenticeship program, delivered the keynote address.
Industry leaders also gathered to honor the graduates, such as Jorge Yat, now a general superintendent for union partner,
Performance Contracting, Inc., who graduated from the program 22 years prior, and Mike Nielson from union partnering employer
Midwest Drywall Company, Inc. Milwaukee Tools representatives also attended and presented each graduate with a new hammer drill/impact combo tool set.
Congratulations, everyone!
