Our dynamic plumbing apprenticeship training initiatives are redefining traditional training methods, delivering the education that young individuals seek and need. We have offerings for traditional classroom learning via our PHCC Apprenticeship Schools, and also new online offerings in both plumbing and HVACR. All PHCC apprenticeship programs are recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship.

PHCC IN-PERSON SCHOOLS

Both programs hold the Department of Labor's approval, enabling students to qualify for enhanced incentives from the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners in meeting licensing prerequisites.

Testimonial: "Apprenticeship is an avenue of success for many. I have seen graduate engineers go through apprenticeships to simply gain the knowledge provided and see a pathway of opportunity spill out in front of them. Our apprentices join with great expectations and witness the success of growth through greater responsibility, licensing and increased graduated pay scales. As the students move past different milestones they experience the weight and reward of each step with the ultimate goal of providing a better life for their families and for themselves. I say; let them attend and grow!"
