APPRENTICES Invest in your livelihood!

    Why should you join — and stay joined to — IAPMO?
    If you are an apprentice and attending school, you should be aware of different career paths.

    Icon

    Listing yourself as an IAPMO member

    Listing yourself as an IAPMO member on a résume or job application could and should be a differentiator that shows you are being proactive in connecting and engaging with the industry.

    Icon

    Attending your local IAPMO chapter’s meetings and events

    This will allow you to network with building officials, inspectors and people in the trade who can act as a mentor and provide insight to what's happening in the industry.

    Icon

    Keeping informed by email or text about chapter functions

    This reduces the time and effort required to look for opportunities where you can receive additional insight on the codes, code changes, and training.

    Invest in your livelihood!

    Make a difference working side by side with industry peers who share your passion, and who bring unique perspectives and knowledge.

    Icon

    Create friendships and relationships

    Create friendships and relationships with individuals from around the country — and all over the world — who can provide resources to assist you in your career goals.

    Icon

    Being a member is an investment in your career

    The $35 annual dues come out to $2.50 per month, which is far less than the cost of a beer or a Starbucks coffee.

    Icon

    Lowered Dues

    As an Apprentice, your $35 membership dues are about one-third the price of an Individual membership.

    Help Effect Change

    Be part of a professional organization that provides extensive information within the industry. Joining with others will help effect change, which is difficult for an individual to accomplish alone, and thus enhance the industry.
