Christopher Dokey, Apprentice Sprinkler Fitter, 2 years
I have an uncle who’s been a sprinkler fitter for 30 years, and he turned me on to it. I didn’t know anything about it before. It’s a great craft; you get a real mental and physical workout.
Our apprentice program is one of the best around. It gives you the training that you don’t receive on the job. In class you get the opportunity one-on-one with an instructor to break it down and think about how to apply it on the job. It’s been real beneficial to me. You make mistakes all the time, but going to school builds confidence, and the more confident you are, the better your work will be. The union opened the door for me. |
