Three BAC Local 23 Apprentices Honored at Cleveland CEA Awards Ceremony

At this year’s Cleveland Construction Employers Association (CEA) Awards Ceremony, Apprentices from each union craft were honored with the title Apprentice of the Year in their particular trade. The BAC had three standout apprentices recognized as Apprentices of the Year in their respective crafts.

PCC (Pointer, Caulker, Cleaner) Apprentice of the Year: Walter Schrock

Brick Apprentice of the Year: Michael McKee

Tile Apprentice of the Year: Kitana Maclean

Each honoree was selected for their exceptional skill, dedication to learning, and commitment to upholding the high standards of their trade. The awards highlight not only individual achievement, but also the strength of the apprenticeship system in preparing the next generation of construction professionals.

“These apprentices represent the future of our industry,” said BAC Local 23 President Danny Musacchio. “Their hard work and leadership are setting the bar for their peers and inspiring the next wave of skilled tradespeople.”

The Cleveland CEA event brought together contractors, union leaders, and training directors to celebrate excellence across the building trades, with the apprentice awards serving as a highlight of the evening.

There were also Journeyworker level trades workers honored for their work on various projects throughout the region.
