Overview of Services:
5-yr. Union-based apprenticeship program. Train for Plumbing and Pipe-fitting.
Apprenticeship is a primary post-educational option for those looking to start a career. Apprentices can earn while they learn, unlike traditional college programs. Apprentices are earning competitive wages and accruing retirement benefits while being backed with medical, dental, and vision insurance.
What makes apprenticeships unique is the supervised experience in the field partnered with supplemental training in the classroom. It is a great option for someone who loves to learn and work with their hands.
Our programs include: Steamfitting, Commercial and Service Plumbing. Very competitive. Select about 10 students out of hundreds of applicants.
Credential: YES
Become licensed in WA State as Pipe fitter or Plumber. Apprentices get OJT with contracted partners. After 5 years, become journeyman.
Equity Lens:
Do outreach to women and minorities via Facebook and job fairs. L&I is the umbrella organization that does outreach.
