For myself, I came through the United States Department of Labor registered apprenticeship with the operating engineers.
Lee GrahamGUEST
And then after I graduated with my U.S. DOL certificate, I was able to carry on as a journey person.
Lee GrahamGUEST
And I was tracking towards in and around operating cranes and working on multiple projects.
Lee GrahamGUEST
And that really led me to the opportunity of serving as a business agent representative within the Operating Engineers organization.
Lee GrahamGUEST
I went back for some additional schooling at Wayne State.

There's some labor law and all that good stuff, but I was able to operate in that capacity for about nine years, which is super exciting.
