Who We Are
The Baltimore-D.C. Metro Building Trades Council is the local affiliate of North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU). We support the 22 construction unions in the greater Baltimore/Washington, DC/Northern Virginia region, which together represent thousands of skilled craft professionals in the building and construction industry.
We work with contractors, local unions, government and community leaders to raise industry standards and provide opportunities for great family-supporting jobs and construction career paths across the Mid-Atlantic.
We create opportunities for lifelong, quality careers through partnerships on pre-apprenticeship and jointly managed apprenticeship programs across the greater Baltimore/D.C./NorthernVirginia region.
By encouraging public and private investments in the construction industry that promote increased access to career training and employment, we provide value to the industry and strengthen the communities in which we live and work.
