Assemblymember Alanis Tours Livermore Training Center
At the invitation of Bay Area SMACNA President Duane Davies, Assemblymember Juan Alanis visited District 1’s newest apprenticeship training center for a tour and to learn more about the sheet metal apprenticeship.
Assemblymember Alanis represents District 22 in California, which is located in SMW Local 104’s District 2 region; however, he is an active member of both the Labor and Employment and Business and Professions Assembly Committees.
One of Assemblymember Alanis’ passions is career and technical education, which he discussed with Davies and co-JATC Administrators Ben Rivera and Tim Myres. BAS Executive Vice President Sean O’Donoghue engaged in the conversation underscoring the value a career in the trades brings to families and the community.
Rivera provided a customized tour for the group, including views of the rooftop HVAC systems, CAD classrooms, DDC control panels and new laser welding booth. Although Assemblymember Alanis is familiar with Local 104, it was his first time visiting a sheet metal apprenticeship center. We look forward to supporting him and his agenda to further sustainable career and technical education funding for future generations.
