Good words.

Used to work for Kelley, started my own rigging company. I'm sure you will do fine. Two pieces of advice, 1, mouth shut ears open, 2, don't just stand and watch.

@@marktarver4218 I’m very interested in this career path right after high school, I’m currently a senior and I’ve been doing a bit of research (haven’t done too much yet) but I’m curious what’s the best way to secure an apprenticeship as a crane operator?

@@dreamyworld4111 it may be hard fresh out of high school but I would fill out an application and bring my transcripts up to your local union hall and ask them what it will take where you are. There could be restrictions for someone under 21

The more certs you have the more valuable you are. Whether or not that translates into actual dollars I can't be sure. But I always suggest more knowledge.

Well if it were me I would see if the place that you will be starting for will allow you to shadow their best operator at least a few days a week until you start. I would even offer to do it on my own time (without pay) just for the experience. If i were the employer id pay you minimum wage so that you are covered on the insurance and let you shadow my best trainer. Unfortunately not everyone thinks like that but id definitely try.

You are misinformed. The IUOE (International Union of Operating Engineers) is where I started right here in Florida and it was huge in making me what I am today. Just Google IUOE and your city to see which one is closest and talk to them. I've responded to many questions like this on a bunch of my videos so please look around before you decide what your next step is. If you end up needing more help after you put some effort into it look up my company and get ahold of me that way and I'll give you additional advice if it sounds like you really tried on your own.

If you've read any of the comments/replies you would know i advocate for the apprenticeship program through the union hall as opposed to anything to do with crane schools. The first call id make is to iuoe local 487. Id tell them your situation and work history and see if you can get on as an apprentice. Trust me when i tell you after you are a journeyman operator through the hall, your opportunities are greatly multiplied. Or you can call around to some of the mom and pop companies in the area and see if they want to take a chance on someone with a license but no experience actually running a crane. I've heard of some success that stories but they are few and far between and usually much less profitable. Just my 2 cents

I'd go to my local union hall, not mention anything about that certification, and try to get on as an apprentice. Or you can hit up all your local crane or rigging companies and try to get on as a green hand instead of of operator and work your way up like anyone else. You'd have a leg up on other green hands cause at least the company won't have to pay to get you certified if you start picking everything up well. Dont be too hard for yourself, take an entry level position and earn the seat. Itll be worth it and if you're good, it won't take very long.

I'm not sure I got it off of one of the free RU-vid music channels

I think it was on Audio Library free RU-vid music
