LU 1247 Apprenticeship Contest Winners

Last Saturday November 16th we had 7 of our finest Apprenitces from our 2 JATC training centers in Southern California compete for a chance to represent Southern California Floor Layers in the Western Region Finals in La Vegas, NV. The contest was a hard surface install of 6” Coved Linoleum and heat welding inside a small mockup with a 1 outside corner and a custom inset. It took most of the competitors about 7 hours to complete. It was a great opportunity to see the skills of our young and upcoming installers.

We want to give a big thank you to the Judges:

Pete Escavera, David Padilla, Louie Ramos, Diego Espinosa

A special thank you to all of the competitors:
