The International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers, Local 1 incorporated the BAC Masonry College in 2004. It was not until 2005 that BAC Masonry College began offering post-journey training in concrete finishing and bricklaying, and in 2006 BAC Masonry College accepted its first pre-apprenticeship class of students at a location in Paradise, Newfoundland. . The 2006 class of students successfully graduated, and ten of them are now working in the masonry industry as apprentices. Two of these students returned to the College in January to complete their advanced level training. On September 10, 2007, BAC Masonry College accepted more pre-apprenticeship students into its doors at a larger; more permanent location in St. John's, Newfoundland. This new location has enabled the college to offer increased services to their students, such as a fully equipped resource room and new computers. Having an opportunity to offer apprenticeship and post-journey training has enabled the College to supply an increased amount of apprentices and certified journeypersons to the masonry industry, and will surely continue to do so in the coming years In 2012 we moved once again to a bigger location in Conception Bay South where we are continuing our training which includes pre-employment, advanced, specialty and safety training. Our facility is fully equipped with more equipment and resources to enhance our training and continue our mission in training people for the construction trades.Our school is designed for those who wish to seek training and employment in residential, commercial and industrial construction.
