Steamfitter/Pipefitter Apprenticeship

If you enjoy working independently, problem-solving and working in physically active environments, a Steamfitter/Pipefitter could be a great career for you. While this career can be physically demanding, it also requires creative problem-solving skills and a strong mechanical ability.   

In this program you will lay out, assemble, fabricate, maintain and repair piping systems which carry water, steam, chemicals or fuel used in heating, cooling, lubricating, and other processes. You will spend a lot of your technical training in shops to support and apply the theory you learn in class.  

Steamfitters/Pipefitters are employed by pipeline construction contractors and sub-contractors, thermal or steam generating plants, manufacturers, utility companies, oil refineries, gas plants, pulp mills and chemical plants.   

Experienced Steamfitter-Pipefitters may advance to supervisory positions such as Foreman, Sub-Contractor, Contractor and Construction Superintendent.  

When you graduate, you’ll receive both a:   

• Journeyperson Certificate: This certificate not only acknowledges your expertise in your chosen trade but also grants you the legal authority to work in that trade.  

• Education Credential: This is a formal testament to your dedication and hard work. It confirms that you've successfully finished an Advanced Diploma in a -post-secondary study program and highlights the time and effort you've invested in mastering your trade or profession.
