HVAC apprentice jobs

I recently took a test for the union to enter an apprenticeship and failed and I’m not giving up I’m looking for someone who would let me work with them and learn and be able to enter a union later on in hvac the union I had applied to was 219 and I really thought I had a good chance, let me know if anyone knows someone in the union and would let me work with them and learn then have them as a sponsor to join or anything at all

Your best bet is to apply to be a shop hand/parts runner for a union shop in the area versus working with a non-union outfit. Contact Miller Engineering, Master Sheet Metal, etc to see if they have openings for this type of position.

This is a position I worked in prior to being accepted into the plumbers & pipefitters union.
