Training Center
The Local Union 25 apprenticeship program is your pipeline to success!
Local 25 apprentices train in our state-of-the-art training center, which houses the industry’s most advanced technology and training equipment in 36,000 square feet. Apprentices learn technology, fabrication, welding and drafting, Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) from some of the best instructors in the Quad Cities, then receive hands-on training with one of Local 25’s highly-regarded signatory contractors.
What you need to know:
Our apprenticeship program covers three areas within the trade: plumbing, pipefitting and HVACR service. No matter which track apprentices choose, each 5-year apprenticeship includes:
- 8,500 hours of on-the-job-training
- 1,300 classroom hours
- A paycheck while you learn
Starting pay is an annual salary of $35,000 — with wage increases every year until journeyman status has been reached.
The Plumbers and Pipefitters JATC of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois will not discriminate against apprenticeship applicants or apprentices based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, genetic information, or because they are an individual with a disability or a person 40 years old or older. The Plumbers and Pipefitters JATC of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois will take affirmative action to provide equal opportunity in apprenticeship and will operate the apprenticeship program as required under Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 30.
