CCB Pipefitter/Plumber Wyatt Fontaine showcased outstanding craftsmanship at this year’s UA District 1 Apprenticeship Competition held at the Local 777 Training Facility in Meriden, CT. Over four days, apprentices from across the Northeast were tested on precision, layout, fabrication, and problem solving — and Wyatt rose to the challenge with the skill and discipline that define a top tier pipefitter.
Representing Local 716, Wyatt demonstrated the kind of workmanship we’re proud to have on every CCB project. His attention to detail, commitment to quality, and ability to adapt to complex tasks stood out throughout the competition. Wyatt noted how impressive the training facility was, how well run the event felt, and how valuable it was to meet skilled tradespeople from across the region. He also appreciated the generosity of Milwaukee and DeWalt for supporting all participants — not just the winners.
His message to future apprentices: “Show up ready to learn, ready to work, and ready to meet good people.”
We’re also proud to share that CCB’s Mike Winchenbach, also of Local 716, served as a training coordinator and judge at the event. We greatly appreciate Mike’s leadership, experience, and dedication to developing the next generation of tradespeople!
We’re very proud and appreciative to have both Wyatt and Mike on Team CCB, representing the skill, dedication, and craftsmanship that elevates our work every day. Great job!
