Honoring Our Veterans. Building Their Future.

We are proud to stand beside the brave men and women who have served our country. Veterans bring unmatched discipline, leadership, and resilience to the jobsite—and we’re honored to help them build strong, successful careers in the construction industry.

Laborers Local 165 is committed to honoring veterans with real opportunities, lasting support, and a network of fellow union members who have your back. If you’re a veteran looking for your next mission, you’ll find purpose, pride, and partnership here.

From Service to Skilled Trades

Our union offers a clear path for veterans to thrive in the construction industry. Through our apprenticeship and training programs, veterans can earn while they learn, receive industry-recognized certifications, and work alongside experienced mentors—without the burden of student debt. Union benefits, such as health coverage, pension plans, and job protections, provide stability and security for veterans and their families.

Supporting Those Who Served

Laborers Local 165 is deeply committed to supporting our nation’s veterans—not only in the workplace, but in the community as well. We proudly donate to and volunteer with organizations that serve veterans, including local and national nonprofits that provide housing, support services, mental health resources, and more.
