Spanish 2nd Year Masonry Training Series Now Available

Words: Melissa AguiarThe Mason Contractors Association of America is pleased to announce the release of the MCAA's Masonry Training Series Volume 2 translated in Spanish. MCAA's Training Series is the industry-leading resource for training apprentices, and it is used nationwide by contractors and instructors who appreciate quality apprentice education. A Spanish version of the first year manual has been available for years, but Volume 2 had not been produced or published, until now!

The composition of the masonry workforce is changing, and the MCAA recognizes the importance of addressing the training of all apprentices, regardless of language. To respond to the needs of contractors from across the country, the MCAA enlisted the help of our affiliates and members in Arizona and California to construct this new version. This translation will open the doors for many future masons to further their education.

If you are interested in purchasing the Masonry Training Series Spanish Volume 2, or any other MCAA resource titles, please visit www.masoncontractors.org and click on the Bookstore, or call the headquarters at 800-536-2225.
