PLUMBING TECH TRAINING

Job opportunities are expected to be excellent, as demand for skilled plumbers is expected to outpace the supply of workers trained in this craft. Demand for plumbers will stem from building renovation, including the increasing installation of sprinkler systems; repair and maintenance of existing residential systems; and maintenance activities for places having extensive systems of pipes, such as powerplants, water and wastewater treatment plants, pipelines, office buildings, and factories.
