In addition to learning the skills of the trade, students will be prepared to enter into, and navigate their way through, a career in plumbing. They will learn how to write and maintain a resume; how to interview; and how to communicate with co-workers, management, and customers.
The Plumbing Technology program starts at zero and ends with students having the opportunity to earn the Kentucky Journeyman Plumber License. It is not necessary to have any experience to reach this goal - only the drive and determination to learn a skilled trade in high demand.
