Pipefitting Apprenticeship Training Program
Pipefitters install, maintain, and repair pipes and piping systems, working with various materials to ensure they meet safety and regulatory standards. Welders, on the other hand, join metal parts together using heat and pressure, fabricating and repairing metal products, machinery, and equipment. Both trades require specialized training and skills, and often work together on projects in industries like construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas. Together, they help build and maintain critical infrastructure.
