Job assignments start with rudimentary tasks and progress as the apprentice gains skills. During the apprenticeship, the trainee puts in eight-hour days on the job site. [His] assignments include reading blueprints, welding, erecting steel structures and using scaffolding. He might also assemble rigging, direct crane operators, set reinforcement bar and unload supplies. The apprentice completes some of the assigned tasks on the ground and others from scaffolding or on steel beams at great heights. While the apprentice is working on the job site, his salary is typically half of that of a trained ironworker.
