At this time, we do not have any Permittee Workshops scheduled. We are in the process of revamping our Workshop and making it accessible online to do at your own pace. Please fill out the form at the link below if you are interested in becoming a permit with Local 634 and we will inform you once the Permittee Orientation is available. 

We do not anticipate the Orientation to be available until after March 1st 2025. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, we look forward to bringing you new material.
