Hammer Heads has changed my life and, now that I’ve become a journeyperson, my life has come full-circle as my union has brought me back on a part-time basis to assist with instruction for new Hammer Heads classes.

Hammer Heads didn’t just teach me construction skills — it gave me confidence, purpose, and a belief in myself that I didn’t have before. Through the hands-on training and strong support system, I was able to step into the construction industry prepared and determined to succeed. I didn’t just find a job — I found stability, growth, and a real career path. I am living proof that with the right opportunity and support, your life can change.

Daniel Boateng - Red Seal Plumber
Now Full-Fledged Journeyperson

Since I completed the Hammer Heads Program, my life has changed drastically - I was able to move out, get a second car and got engaged. In my company I’m given more responsibility at only 3rd year. I’m a trusted worker who gets tons of overtime and because of the life skills I got in Hammer Heads I was able to translate that into my job which makes me a reliable worker.

Chris Antwi-Osei - Sprinkler Fitter

Hammer Heads gave me a sense of purpose and responsibility. Many people wish they had the chance to turn their life around and, to me, Hammer Heads was that chance. I went from two time college drop out to buying and owning my second car. Hard work always pays off.

Joshua Amoako Boatey - 5th Year Electrician

As I am nearing the completion of my apprenticeship, I am truly grateful to the Hammer Heads team. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their advice and encouragement.

Ianca Correia - 4th Year Plumber

Hammer Heads has helped me improve my life in many ways, not just financially, but personally and professionally, as well. I learned the value of discipline, perseverance, and consistency. The program showed me that I don’t have to be limited by my environment I can rise above it and create my own path. Today, I am proud to say that I am a Hammer Head, a 2nd year plumbing apprentice with UA Local 46 and I am building a strong and stable career.
