Plumbing/Pipefitting/HVAC Apprentices (applications accepted Sep 1 - Dec 31; online only)

Plumbers install and repair pipes that carry water, waste, drainage, and natural gas in buildings. They cut, bend, and join pipes; they install fixtures and appliances, such as bathtubs, toilets, dishwashers, and water heaters. They work from blueprints and drawings that show them where to put the pipes and fixtures.  

Pipefitters require similar skills as plumbers, but they work on large industrial piping systems that carry steam, gases, and chemicals which supply power, heating, or refrigeration.  

HVAC means “Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning” and may include refrigeration too. HVAC Technicians install, maintain, and repair the equipment used to warm, cool, and circulate air in homes and buildings.
