Local 290 Pipefitters and Steamfitters Apprenticeship
The UA Local 290 Apprentice & Journeyman Training Institute offers five-year apprenticeships for plumbers, steamfitters and HVAC/R service technicians. The apprenticeship program is appropriate for high school graduates looking for something other than the traditional college route, those looking for a career change, or college graduates concerned with the difficult job market. After the application process, and once accepted into the apprenticeship program, each new apprentice is paired with a journeyman. The apprentice trains with the journeyman during the day, working for one of our contractors. Additional education and training opportunities are offered through four-year “earn and learn” apprenticeship programs, a three-week pre-apprenticeship class, and community/school outreach programs.
