Acquire Foundational Experience and Skills

What happens here

Before pursuing independence, it is advised to work for an employer (either union or non-union) for a few years. This period serves as crucial on-the-job training, allowing the individual to gain practical skills, learn industry standards, understand business operations from an employee's perspective, and potentially build professional connections. This experience is essential groundwork before venturing out independently.

Goal: Gain practical trade experience and industry knowledge as an employee.
