Local No. 20 earned the award because the jury felt the program clearly set a high level of expectation for the apprentices. One jury member said Local No. 20 had \u201cthe best training facility I have ever seen,\u201d while other jury members noted the apprenticeship programs\u2019 deliberate attention to value for their project owners with \u201ca clear shift in attitude from just completing a job to creating value for the client.\u201d<br \/>\nTim Myres, Local No. 20 training coordinator, attributed the local\u2019s recognition to the cumulative effort of the many talented professionals on staff, and the hard work they put forth to be considered, and then honored, with the award. This is the first time Local No. 20\u2019s Apprenticeship and Training Program has been recognized by Top Notch of Indiana.<br \/>\nDuring the last five years, instructors and staff have worked to upgrade and improve the apprenticeship and training program at Local No. 20. From reworking the curriculum, to preparing apprentices for the next 20, 30, or 40 years of their careers in the real world, it\u2019s been a challenge, but one worth the undertaking, Myres said.<br \/>\n\u201cWe all have seen the positive outcome of their efforts, and this award makes it apparent that industry leaders across the state have observed all of their hard work and success as well,\u201d he added.<br \/>\nAwards were presented in four categories, including Training Excellence, Union of the Year, Contractor of the Year and Labor\/Management Foundation.<br \/>\nFor additional information on the Top Notch Standards of Excellence Awards, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.topnotch.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.topnotch.org<\/a>.<br \/>\nThis article originally appeared at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/eyeonsheetmetal.com\/\">Eye On Sheet Metal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top Notch of Indiana recognized Sheet Metal Workers Local No. 20 with the Training Excellence Award during its seventh annual Standards of Excellence Awards program luncheon on May 19 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
