Boston, MA – June 22, 2022 — The Community Mentoring Team, expanding economic opportunities for young Black Bostonians, today announced that it will celebrate CMT Mentees participating in the electrician apprenticeship program with IBEW Local 103.

“Our apprenticeship program with the Community Mentoring Team is a win-win for our union and the communities in which we live, work, and raise our families,” noted Lou Antonellis, Business Manager/Financial Secretary at IBEW, Local 103. “Partnering with CMT helps advance our mission to provide Greater Boston developers with the best trained, most efficient, and safest electricians and telecommunications specialists while fostering our Union's values of economic fairness, equal opportunity, and charitable giving. We’re thrilled to welcome this new class of CMT Mentees to Local 103.”
