Meeting the Challenge of Change

The Pipe Trades Training Center in San Jose meets the challenge of change by providing interested men and women a unique opportunity to learn the skills that give them an extraordinary advantage over non-union workers.

We live in a time of rapid change. And the area of perhaps the most rapid change of all is right in our own back yard.

Silicon Valley companies stand at the forefront of America's capability to retain world technological leadership into the 21st Century. In computers. In semiconductors. In pharmaceuticals. In biotechnology.

To maintain their cutting edge, these companies require the most modern and efficient facilities possible.

The workers of the nation's No. 1 high-tech piping union -- Plumbers, Steamfitters & Refrigeration Fitters Local Union #393 in San Jose -- and the contractors who employ them, help make that happen.

To keep up with the rapid advance of technology, today's workers must have the skills to install piping and other systems without a learning curve. The Pipe Trades Training Center helps provide those skills.

Fully trained plumbers, steamfitters, refrigeration and air conditioning mechanics do the job right the first time. They take pride in their work, and we take pride in them.
