Training
No other organization serves the training needs of the piping industry
like the United Association. For over a century, the UA has been
training the most highly-qualified workers in the United States and
Canada.
Over the past several decades, the United Association's training
programs have produced a stable, skilled workforce responsible for
building and maintaining piping systems in the various industrial and
residential facilities that make up the North American landscape.
No one can match our commitment or investment in training. The UA spends
over $130 million annually on training programs efforts involving
approximately 100,000 journeymen and apprentices in over 400 local
training facilities at any given time.
If the United Association wanted to select the area which best reflects
this commitment to the training and excellence produced, it could well
look to New Jersey. We encourage you to stop by our state-of-the-art
training facility for a tour!
In addition to our five-year apprenticeship programs, Pipefitters Local
274 offers continuing education opportunities that includes journeymen
training and certification, as well as an associate’s degree program.
Training never ends at Pipefitters Local 274. Our skill is what
separates us from the competition and it's why we are in demand and we
want to work with your team today!
Our Journeymen and Training Departments are divided into the two
segments. Please visit the appropriate page for upgrade classes or for
