Helmets to Hardhats Gains Direct Entry for Apprentices.

The article reports that military veterans in eleven U.S. states, who want to enter a union construction apprenticeship program through the Helmets to Hardhats (H2H) recruitment plan, now get to move to the front of the applicant line. And more states are expected shortly. Eleven governors have signed agreements with H2H officials granting "direct entry" for those applicants into union apprentice programs that have an opening and where a "match" is made. So far, Indiana, Ohio, Connecticut, West Virginia, Illinois, Washington, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Iowa, New Hampshire and Vermont have signed on.
