Plumbing Apprenticeship

Apprenticeship Program: 50-427-5
Five Years (consisting of four years of schooling)
Campus: Fond du Lac

Plumbers may work with water supply systems, waste water treatment, drainage systems and gas piping in both residential and commercial applications. Additional trade practices can include installation of bath and kitchen fixtures, service and repair work, code upgrades and remodeling.

Plumbers work in government agencies, public utilities, residences and industries. Many plumbers enjoy the independence of working alone, with full responsibility for designing and repairing plumbing systems.

Plumbers use pipe cutters, wrenches, reamers, power drills, power saws, hammers and other common hand tools. Power machines are often used to cut and thread pipes.

This program is a nontraditional occupation for women.
