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.
