Educational Foundation Announces Release
of Revised Home Study Plumbing Apprenticeship Program
As the plumbing industry continues to experience shortages in the labor
pool, many contractors are looking for alternatives to maintain a competent
workforce. While instructor-based apprenticeship programs are the often-preferred
method of training, in many cases, it is simply not an option for would-be
apprentices. To address this need, the PHCC Educational Foundation is
revising its Plumbing Home Study Apprenticeship Program.
The four-year program is based on the PHCC Educational Foundation's
Plumbing Apprenticeship Program, which is being updated. The first-year
home study manual is now complete, and revisions are under way for the
second through fourth year of the program.
“The ability to work at home at their own pace is very appealing
to the non-traditional student, who usually is unable to attend traditional
classes because of distance or personal circumstances,” said PHCC
Educational Foundation Director of Apprentice and Journeyman Training
Merry Beth Hall. “We've seen an increase in the number of students
enrolling in the home study program, and expect an even larger increase
now that the program is being updated. As a result, more skilled workers
will be available to the industry.”
The first-year program includes a copy of the newly revised first-year
PHCC Educational Foundation Plumbing Apprentice Student Workbook, as
well as tests and other support materials to assist the student in learning.
Students work at their own pace, reviewing the text and taking tests
when ready. The students complete the tests on paper, and then mail
them in for grading. Test results are mailed back to students.
PHCC Educational Foundation staff administers the program, grading tests,
tracking results and keeping supervisors informed about the apprentice's
progress. Free technical assistance is available for questions the student
can't answer with the help of their sponsor.
