About Our Training Funds

The Construction Craft Laborers Training and Apprenticeship Fund of New Jersey and Delaware is affiliated with Laborers’ International Union of North America (LIUNA) and serves more than 10,000 members in Delaware and New Jersey. Construction safety and skills training is offered for all forms of commercial building, heavy, highway, and residential construction. Additionally, the fund offers training for environmental remediation and energy retrofitting/weatherization. Each year, LIUNA members and contractors utilize our training network to update their skills in a variety of fields. In addition to our training centers in Monroe Township, NJ and Newark, DE we also provide on-site toolbox talks for a contractors’ workforce.
