UPCOMING PROGRAM

40 HOUR QUICK START PROGRAM

The QuickStart Program is a 5 Week Program 8 hours, 1 day a week on Wednesdays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. It is designed as a boot camp to give newly hired helpers the skills necessary to work safely and perform tasks in the field with more confidence. They build their capabilities and skillsets by completing various hands-on lessons in a controlled lab setting. In addition, this program will give our successful new hires a better ability and more robust understanding of the materials and tools necessary to complete the task assigned to them on the job site. This type of training is ability-based. Our certified trainer will give and monitor each task under the same conditions they will find in the field. Students will be educated and tested on each task for safety, performance, critical thinking, ability, cleanliness, and professional attitude.

WHAT OUR TRADE SCHOOL HAS TO OFFER

For most companies, the skills needed to drive future growth are distinct from what is needed to support the current business model. Learning new skills and practices are essential not only to sustaining your existing business, but growing it.


Our innovative Ride and Decide program exposes students to the idea of job apprenticeship training and shows them how exciting and financially rewarding a plumbing career can be. We tackle common misconceptions about a trade career, including that they are:


  • Mid-skill range positions.
  • Menial and low-paying.
  • Dead-end jobs, offering no opportunities for advancement.


We know that nothing could be further from the truth! The plumbing field offers students access to well-compensated, highly skilled, upwardly mobile careers.

Best of all – students can earn while they learn! They are paired during their summer break with PHCC member contractors who offer them first-hand experience of the plumbing trade while they assist in paid work functions.

If you want to grow your business, but are unsure which growth strategies to use, our trade school program offers innovative options that can help you succeed.

RIDE & DECIDE

PHCC’s Ride and Decide awareness program is designed to provide students with the information they need to decide if a career in the plumbing trade is the right one for them.


With unemployment and underemployment rates of college grads at record levels, Ride & Decide aims to change the perception that vocational study is less respectable than attending a 4-year university. Now more than ever, skills training is possibly the most reliable path to an interesting and rewarding career.

42-Week Plumbing Apprentice Course

This comprehensive program covers everything involved in a 4-year plumbing apprenticeship. From an introduction to plumbing to the Journey-Level exam, we provide training at the apprentice and journeyman levels. Employers gain skilled, committed workers who are trained to industry specifications, and technicians obtain nationally recognized credentials.

Building a Career

Classes are held during evening hours, allowing students to use their daytime hours to gain on-the-job experience. Highlights include hands-on training, classroom theory, field trips, classroom demonstrations, and guest speakers.


In addition to coursework, students also participate in lab time and complete homework as part of their normal curriculum.

This hands-on experience is an intensive course of study to prepare students for successful plumbing careers and maximize their career prospects.
