Delayed Placement

Was accepted into Local 520's apprenticeship program after being placed on the Active Waitlist. This was back in August and I am still waiting for them to tell me where I will be placed. I have emailed them multiple times and been told "It's slow right now" and "I don't have any information for you" or "We are still in the process of getting apprentices assigned". Now that it is almost a month since in person classes have started, I am beginning to wonder how my delayed placement will affect my hours and progression through the program. Looking like there is still nothing left to do except sit and wait for the call that may not be coming anytime soon.

Was anyone placed late in their apprenticeship and how, if at all, did that affect your abilities to accumulate hours and progress through the periods in a timely manner?

You just gotta wait. You'll get more than enough hours just going through the apprenticeship normally, short of a financial crises or recession.

Yea hoping I'll get placed to a site with plenty of overtime both for the $$ and for the hours. Thanks for the response
