Sponsored by the ABC Rocky Mountain Chapter, and three other trade associations, CITC is a nonprofit corporation that trains craftspeople in the areas of carpentry, masonry, painting, sheet metal, plumbing, sprinkler fitting, electrical and pipe fitting. CITC is approved by U.S. Department of Labor, Federal Office of Apprenticeship and Training (OAT, formerly know at BAT) and is an accredited sponsor of The National Center for Construction Education and Research.
