Apprenticeship, Training, and Worker Safety

LIUNA is committed to building a highly skilled, well-trained workforce while ensuring the highest safety standards on every job site. With debt-free apprenticeship programs, strong worker protections, and industry-leading safety advocacy, we fight for careers that offer fair wages, benefits, and long-term stability. From training new apprentices to demanding safe working conditions in high-risk industries, LIUNA is leading the way in protecting and empowering workers.

Apprenticeship

LIUNA runs Minnesota’s largest construction apprenticeship program, offering debt-free training and family-supporting wages. 

Child Labor

LIUNA fights to protect young workers from dangerous job conditions while supporting safe, age-appropriate career exploration. Our training center introduces youth to construction careers with safety, education, and skill-building at the core.

Broadband Worker Safety

The demand for high-speed internet is rising, but so are risks to broadband workers. LIUNA fights for strong safety standards, fair wages, and proper training to protect workers as they expand critical broadband infrastructure.

Refinery Worker Safety

LIUNA demands skilled workforce standards at refineries to protect workers and communities. Major accidents could impact millions of Minnesotans, making proper training and safety protocols essential.
