    Description
    This course provides an introduction to the plumbing service and repair apprenticeship program, including an overview of JATC policies, procedures, and expectations. Apprentices will learn about the history and heritage of the United Association (UA) to build awareness of the trade's legacy and values. Foundational safety training is introduced, with a focus on general construction safety practices relevant to plumbing service and repair. Instruction then progresses to essential trade skills, including the proper use and care of hand and power tools, basic pipe and tubing installation methods, and techniques such as soldering and brazing. This course lays the groundwork for success in both classroom instruction and on-the-job training.
