High School Students
Secure your future and build a career in plumbing or HVACR
Choosing a career in the plumbing or HVACR trades is a smart move for high school students looking for a stable and rewarding future.
These industries are always in demand—homes and businesses will always need skilled professionals to install, maintain, and repair essential systems. Trades offer competitive pay, opportunities to start earning right out of high school, and clear paths for growth, including apprenticeships and advanced certifications.
Unlike many careers, plumbing and HVACR work can't be outsourced or replaced by automation, ensuring job security. Plus, these fields allow you to build tangible skills, work with your hands, and make a real difference in people's lives—all without the burden of student debt.
It’s a practical, fulfilling career choice with long-term potential! Unlike college, where you pay to learn, the trades let you earn while you learn on the job!
