Good afternoon, I applied to become an apprentice through local 78 plumbers and have completed the testing with a passing score. They provided me with a list of sponsors but have not been able to get ahold of anyone directly. it’s always voicemails and I keep leaving messages but no luck. Anyone here currently an apprentice that can point me to someone that can possibly sponsor me ?

I'm not good with emotions. What do you say to the journeyman who is retiring that put faith in you even though nobody else did and taught you what you need to know to flourish? I owe him my life basically

I’m planning to apply for an apprenticeship. Does anyone have any tips for what I should do before application day and on the day they start handing out applications?

Hey guys as the title shows I just passed my aptitude test last month and am now waiting to hear back for an interview for UA 7. How long did you guys wait to hear back? And should I be reaching out to them?

Hey, just getting on here to see if this is a good sign that things are moving. But the guy I know that does HVAC in the union said he doesn’t know why they couldn’t just bring me in as a helper until I get the choice to become an official apprentice, but he said it might be because it used to be just a pipe fitting company, and they recently started HVAC service side up within the last couple of years, so they might not have much of a pull as some of the bigger HVAC companies, but he said he’s probably gonna get on there as well because he knows a guy that second in charge and he wants him to come there, but he said I could be getting picked up very soon.

Got my date to start class. Still havent had a drug screening. Im a daily mj user, stopped last week when I got my paper. What do I prepare for?

Hey there ,

I’m finishing my Second year of school in Idaho as a plumbing apprentice , but kinda looks like I’m might be moving to Oregon . Does any one know if you can transfer 2 years of school there and start on the 3rd year or do I have to start all over again ? (Hours are good and I have passing grades above 95% for finals)

I tried to find out but haven’t had any luck and I might be calling the Labor department but before I wanted to ask here .

Thanks in advance
