Our full-time staff has more than 200 years of sheet metal experience and 40 years of teaching experience.our areas of instruction include hvac, architectural and industrial sheet metal, and service. Our union sheet metal apprenticeship was established over 100 years ago. The modern apprenticeship training as we know it today has been in place since 1973. We moved into our current portland campus in 1995. To better serve central and southern oregon, we opened our second campus in springfield in 2011. Over 300 apprentices are enrolled in our 5-year program at any given time. Each year, we "turn out or graduate an average of 75 apprentices. Through hard work and dedication, apprentices earn their journey card and officially become journeypersons.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $6.5M to $7.2M (+10%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
