Overview

Finishing Trades Institute of the Upper Midwest (FTIUM) takes applications year-round, and contractors will hire year-round, as labor demands permit. Classes are offered by semester and semesters often typically begin in August and January.

Entry process:

Explore trades and opportunities via FTIUM's website and fill out a contact form. Once the contact form is submitted, applicants will receive an email with a link to sign up for an open house. Interested applicants will then seek work with a signatory contractor. Upon employment, applicants will then join the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT). The final step is applying directly to the Finishing Trades Institute apprenticeship program.

FTIUM has a four-page application with no associated fee. The IUPAT application is two pages long and there is an additional one-time, $190 fee.

  • Valid driver’s license
