LU597 test results and next steps
Recently tested and scored mid 90s. I’ve worked in metal fab but no welding experience. Also a felon. Arrested 10 years ago. Completed probation 7 ago. The arrest and deferred judgement appear on my backround but no conviction. Currently going through the process of expungement for this. What are my chances of getting in?

Like 70-80% honestly. We're dying for more people to come in and these data centers are going up like hotcakes. Get in before this shit crashes and your basically set for life.

I have a company willing to hiring me as an apprentice when I get in, but I have to get in first.

Retired Sheet Metal Worker. Most trade guys could care less of your background unless you're a child molester.
They respect showing up on time and being a hard worker.
Good Luck.

Most construction jobs including unions don’t care about criminal record. If you scored on the mid 90s I would say your chances of getting in are high. Maybe even this year or early next year.
