Cement Mason & Plasterer Apprenticeship Applications

For many, apprenticeships offer the unique opportunity to learn a trade while also earning a paycheck. And for the most part, that is true. But there is so much more to an apprenticeship than meets the eye! That’s because an apprenticeship is more than just a job: it’s a path to a successful career.


Local 132 of Southern Ohio/Kentucky is a Plasterers and Cement Mason union that provides labor union support to plasters and cement masons throughout Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. We are committed to providing our members with the training and education they need to be successful in their careers — and for some, that starts with finding the right apprenticeship. Contact Local 132 if you have any questions about apprenticeships or our labor union support.

Cement Mason

OPCMIA members place and finish concrete in a wide range of uses. The use of this rock-solid material requires a well-trained and skilled workforce. Famous concrete structures include the Hoover Dam, the Panama Canal, and the Roman Pantheon. Concrete and its related products are all around you and are often taken for granted. Today, it is the most widely used human-made material (measured by tonnage). It is the foundation of your home or office, it is used to make the sidewalks and roads that transport you, and it lends its strength and versatility to build dams and power plants to light your way. 

Plasterer

OPCMIA members apply various plaster products in a wide range of uses. The use of the varied forms of this product in the walls and ceiling industry requires a well-trained and skilled workforce. As durable as the ancient pyramids of Egypt, and as decorative as the Palace of Versailles, plaster is not just an old-fashioned product. Thousands of years after its refinement as a building material, plaster still provides durable interior and exterior walls, it decorates our shopping malls and amusement parks, and it provides fire resistance and durability in our offices and schools.
