As part of TEC Guild membership, participants may engage in structured, hands-on training opportunities designed to introduce core plumbing concepts and real-world applications. Our Introduction to Plumbing training opportunity provides the foundation for entering into a career in the plumbing industry. Through hands-on training experiences, members gain both knowledge and skills in a plumbing lab environment, working with real tools and equipment, led by plumbing professionals from various parts of the industry.
​
Participants learn about career opportunities in the plumbing industry, health & safety standards, work ethic, and get your hands on real plumbing tools – like pipe wrenches and pro-press guns. Next, participants will work through pipes, fittings, valves, and devices so that they'll know how they work together with bathroom, kitchen, laundry fixtures, and water heaters. In addition, they'll see how all those components come together in the two main plumbing systems – water service distribution systems and drain, waste, & vent systems. Finally, participants get an overview of what plumbing systems look like in blueprints and drafting.
