“Today is a celebration, but it also represents a continued commitment by ABC and our membership to supply a skilled, trained, and safe construction workforce for Southern California,” said Nick McFayden, ABC SoCal’s Board Chair.
Jon Krystafik, Vice Chairman of the Training Trust said, “Our training facility is unique. You may have toured other facilities, but with ours you will see we don’t just train one craft. Here, apprentices and craft trainees are receiving cutting-edge training in electrical, plumbing, low voltage, and HVAC/sheet metal. ... Our trustees had a dream 10 years ago to train residents in the inland empire. Today it is a reality.”
