- Licensure is complex, and we have a long road ahead of us to reach that if that becomes a clear goal. A downside to licensure is that we would be stuck in boom times (like now) and struggle to provide a full workforce if members were required to go through licensure first. It’s a complicated issue that we don’t have resolution on yet.
- Licensure is a long process that frequently requires completion of an apprenticeship program before state certification. 75% of our current Journey level membership has not gone through the apprenticeship and many were brought in during boom times to satisfy labor shortages.
