Pre-Apprenticeship Training

This program will introduce you to the HVAC Sheet Metal Trade and get you job & apprenticeship ready. Without having a 4-year commitment, you will have the opportunity to see if this trade interests you. After 12 weeks you can decide if you want to continue into the 4-year apprenticeship program or not.
