The Baltimore DC Metro Building Trades Council welcomed their newest member last month when Nichalas "Nick" Cummings was hired on as BTC Director. Cummings has been a union advocate and member of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 486 since 1999, becoming an instructor and Trustee for 486's Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee. He later became a recruiter and elected officer for local 486 where he established strong relationships with community-based organizations in Baltimore City and the surrounding counties. As Director, Nick has been entrusted to continue implementation of the pre-apprenticeship program and to increase recruitment of applicants by working with community organizations to establish pathways into union apprenticeship. “Nick's goal is to provide apprenticeship opportunities to disadvantaged residents of the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia to provide family sustaining careers in our industry,” said the BCT.
