The Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee for The International Union of Elevator Constructors (IUEC), Local Union #62, will conduct a recruitment from May 7, 2025 through June 6, 2025 for ten elevator/escalator constructor and modernizer apprentices.

Applications can be completed online only from May 7, 2025 9:00 a.m. to June 6, 2025 5:00 p.m. at www.neieprecruitment.org Applicants who do not have access to a computer may visit their local library or New York State Department of Labor Career Center (see: https://dol.ny.gov/career-centers).

If an applicant does not have a credit or debit card, they may contact the Area Coordinator-Jeffrey Handibode at (781) 860-2192 to discuss alternative payment options.

Please note, you may request that this fee be waived for financial need purposes. Fee waivers will be approved upon showing verifiable proof of financial need. All applications must be received by no later than June 6, 2025.
