ABC Nebraska — NCCER Craft Apprenticeship Training (11 Trades, Non-Union, Omaha Training Center)

About This Opportunity

Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) is the national association for merit-shop (non-union) construction employers. ABC Nebraska South Dakota runs a full apprenticeship and craft training program through its Omaha Training Center using NCCER (National Center for Construction Education and Research) curriculum — the most widely recognized construction training standard in the country. If you are interested in a construction career but prefer to enter the non-union pathway, ABC Nebraska is your primary resource. Eleven trades are available through the ABC Nebraska training program: Carpentry, Drywall, Electrical, HVAC, Electronic Systems Technology, Heavy Equipment Operator, Masonry, Pipefitting, Plumbing, Sheet Metal, and Welding. That breadth of options in one program is nearly unique in this metro. The NCCER National Training Registry credential is recognized across the United States — if you build skills through ABC Nebraska in Omaha, those credentials are portable if you ever move. The program delivers 144 hours of classroom instruction per year (the NCCER Related Technical Instruction requirement). Apprentices work full-time for ABC member companies while attending classroom training — earn-while-you-learn, same model as union apprenticeships. The application process scores applicants on education, work history, and demonstrated construction training, and qualified applicants enter a ranked pool from which ABC member companies hire. Note: being added to the pool does not guarantee employment — companies hire from the pool directly. If your initial application is not competitive, ABC offers free re-evaluation pathways through completing OSHA courses, their Construction Academy, and First Aid/CPR. The Omaha Training Center is at 10640 Burt Circle, Omaha, NE 68114. Call 402-344-4258 or email training@abcnesd.org.
