Midwestern Mechanical, Inc. Plumbing Apprenticeship
Training & Continuing Classes with our Apprentice Program
Plumbing apprentices at Midwestern Mechanical, Inc. get paid while they train on-the-job and attend classes. These well-trained craftsmen will apply their skills in every facet of the piping industry—from installation, service, and repair of plumbing and fire protection systems to water and gas piping to installing fixtures in homes and commercial projects.
Apprentices attend classes 2 days a month for 4 years (644 hours minimum) while working a minimum of 40 hours per week in the trade. This means they earn while they learn. Courses run from September through May and are conveniently scheduled during the day at a Midwestern Mechanical, Inc. location and shared by video conferencing to our other locations. Courses are taught by our experienced journeymen, where they incorporate theoretical and textbook study with hands-on training.
