To MCAA members and JATC trustees considering attendance at events sponsored by the International Training Fund:

The Trustees of the UA International Training Fund (ITF) are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all employees, instructors, and students participating in training events sponsored by the ITF.

To ensure safe and healthy training, the ITF has developed and adopted the following Preparedness Plan for in-person training that requires proof of COVID vaccination as a precondition of in-person participation.

The Plan applies to all in-person training events sponsored by the ITF in any location throughout the United States, including the upcoming Pipe Trades Training Conference, as well as Instructor Training Program, International Apprentice Contest and all Regional Training Classes.

Participants in any sponsored ITF event are responsible for complying with all aspects of the Plan.
