How Certification Works

Our apprenticeship program is registered with the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

To receive certification through our program, contractors must complete the following required steps:

1. Submit the membership enrollment fee.
2. Submit the applicable trade or field contribution (allocated to the designated ERISA trust account).
3. Complete and submit the required Application and Appendix D documentation.
4. Provide any additional supporting documentation requested for administrative review.

Once all required payments and documentation have been received and confirmed, certification will be issued verifying completion of the program requirements.

Certification confirms completion of program requirements within our registered apprenticeship program. Certification may be submitted to the appropriate New Jersey public works portal as part of a contractor’s application materials.

Important: Final eligibility for public works projects is determined solely by the appropriate New Jersey government authority. Participation in this program and issuance of certification do not constitute automatic approval, contract award, or guarantee of eligibility for public works projects. Contractors remain responsible for maintaining all required licenses, registrations, insurance, and compliance with applicable federal and state laws.
