Career benefits

High-paying

Learn from the pros while building the skills that lead to a stable, rewarding career in the pipe trades.

Premium health insurance

Earn strong wages and valuable benefits. Benefits are provided in addition to the hourly wage rather than being taken from it.

Powered by technology

Construction continues to evolve. Modern piping work uses advanced tools, equipment and technology to bring complex projects to life.

Engaging work

No two projects are exactly alike. The work changes with the job, and there are opportunities to grow and advance.

02

The best-kept secret

Apprenticeship is more than school. It connects real jobs, experienced mentors and technical instruction.

Real-world experience

Learn by doing.

Apprentices work side by side with experienced tradesmen and women, watching, learning and practicing the work. Classroom instruction reinforces the fundamentals through technical materials and instructors who have done the work in the field.

Paid to learn

Build responsibility as your skills grow.

New apprentices begin with less complicated tasks while assisting on the jobsite. As classroom knowledge and hands-on experience increase, apprentices take on more technical aspects of the trade.
