2 September 2010

Laney College is offering a nine-week course of study to prepare students for plumbing careers in the water industry. The program is designed to orient students to basic plumber work, tools & equipment, and traffic safety. A lab class is included so that students will have first-hand knowledge of tools and materials used in the industry. The goal is to provide foundational skills that enable graduates to be more competitive when applying for plumbing jobs.

Water industry plumbers typically work as crew members performing physically demanding outdoor work and assisting in the installation, repair and maintenance of underground pipelines, valves, meters, hydrants and other related facilities.
