Building Trades Tour Series-Plumbers & Pipefitters Statewide Apprentice Contest
The Building Trades Tour Series will be a series of field trips to the training centers for the different building trades set up about once a month over the school year. We will visit a training center, hear about their programs, and possibly do a few hands-on projects. This is an excellent way to check out all the opportunities available for good-paying careers in the trades that do not require college. Building Trades Apprentices earn while they learn and that is not modeled in any other occupation.
The different skilled trades available are boilermakers, bricklayers, carpenters, cement masons, electricians, elevator constructors, insulators, ironworkers, laborers, operating engineers, painters and glaziers, plasterers, plumbers, pipe-fitters, roofers, sheet metal workers, sprinkler fitters, and steamfitters.
This tour is at the Plumbers and Pipefitters' Training Center in Flint during the annual statewide apprenticeship contest. This tour will involve observation of the contest that determines who are the top plumber, pipefitter, welder, HVAC service technician, and sprinklerfitter apprentices in Michigan for 2024. Lunch will be included. Transportation is to be arranged among the parents. Registration is limited to the first 10 registrants.
