The consensus is long agreed upon: The construction industry needs skilled workers and proper training is the only way to ensure that need is met.
A systematic approach for meeting both those needs is offered by the International Masonry Institute. IMI is a joint labor/management cooperative program of the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers and union contractors. In addition to numerous BAC plaster training efforts at the local level, IMI provides a framework for meeting both long range and immediate plaster training needs.
