Former Winter Olympian Turned Canadian Carpenter

#WinterOlympics #Carpentry #SkilledTrades

What if the discipline you admire in Olympians could help launch your next career in carpentry?

Meet Elena Muratova from Local 1598, a level-three carpenter apprentice who understands what it means to grow through the carpentry trade. For Elena, carpentry is more than a construction job. It is a career path that builds confidence, develops hands-on skills, and rewards hard work. The training you receive as a carpenter apprentice stays with you for life, both on and off the jobsite.

 If you are exploring careers in construction, apprenticeships, or opportunities in the skilled trades, this story shows what is possible.
