Brother Matt Allen started his career as a welder’s apprentice in 2006. He turned out as a journeyman, built a strong career in the trade, and is now helping lead the next generation as JATC Training Coordinator.
As Isaiah Zemke said, Brother Allen’s leadership, dedication, and vision are helping drive real improvements across the JATC, from the quality of training programs to the growth of apprentices.
His story is a reminder of what an apprenticeship can lead to: a career, a future, and the chance to help build the trade for the next generation.
