Career: Pipefitter

Pipefitter apprenticeships are a kind of on-the-job training where aspiring pipefitters learn through a combination of classroom lessons and hands-on training from veteran tradesmen.

Many vocational schools, industrial companies, and industry unions offer these apprenticeships.
