Скачать или смотреть New pre-apprentice program helps train students for jobs in the trades while earning a wage

Construction trade jobs, such as carpentry, electrician, HVAC, plumbing, pipefitting, and more, are in high demand and offer family-wage pay. In partnership with Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 26, TPS created a pre-apprentice program where students earn money while learning a trade alongside a TPS union employee. We hope this program is the first of many.

Interested students can submit a short interest form and will complete a free two-week Introduction to Plumbers and Pipefitters (HIPP) program this summer. HIPP is facilitated in partnership with Graduate Tacoma, who is helping to ensure the program participants reflect the diversity of our community, including more participation from female students and students of color.

HIPP is one of many summer programs offered by TPS where students can earn industry credentials. All programs are part of our Career and Technical Education (CTE) offerings; we are committed to ensuring each student is ready for life after high school.
