Plumbing Career Outlook

Plumbing is a trade that will be in high demand for the foreseeable future. The career has grown with technology to aid in diagnosing complex plumbing repairs. Yet, technology and bots can’t replace the expertise and work required to keep water flowing, fit new equipment, or replace old pipes.

Prospects & Partnerships

Florida Trade Academy has strong industry partners and will guide graduates toward enrollment in a Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) to continue working toward licensing and certification.
