Chaney Enterprises  is kicking off 2022 by growing the company and investing in its local workforce.

The Gambrills-based business, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, is starting a new apprenticeship program and adding new jobs in Maryland.

The registered apprenticeship – which was approved at the Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Council’s meeting in January – will include 2,000 hours of on-the-job learning and 320 hours of instruction for professional concrete drivers. Chaney Enterprises plans to add at least 50 new jobs at the company with help from various programs managed by the Maryland Department of Commerce.

“Chaney Enterprises believes in training, and through this approved apprenticeship program we will have the unique ability to prepare our team members of the future for maximum success,” said CEO Francis Hall Chaney III. “We look forward to combining our passion for the construction materials business with the passion of Maryland’s strong workforce to ensure shared prosperity for future generations.”
