Apprentice Training

An apprenticeship is a great way to develop skills in plumbing-heating-cooling and learn the trade while on the job. You’ll not only gain important training and skills by working alongside someone with years of experience, but you’ll be paid while doing it. To identify opportunities, check with a PHCC chapter or local schools and/or businesses in your area.

Most individuals starting out in the p-h-c field begin as an apprentice with a plumbing, heating or cooling company. During this internship, you’ll work each day with a designated mentor and also take classroom courses to supplement your training and round out your full knowledge and education. Here are some options available through the PHCC Educational Foundation.
