Students will be provided hands-on experiences in the new state of the art facility using the latest tools and techniques. When eligible and available, students may participate in the Cooperative education program.
Graduating students will earn both classroom (Tier 1&2) and practical hours toward the Massachusetts Journeyman's Plumbers examination requirements.
