Exciting Day at the Utah Career Center! Our pre-apprenticeship class had an incredible hands-on experience with Utah Career Center! During our visit we dived straight into the world of plumbing. The students got their hands dirty learning to solder copper pipes—talk about skill-building! They also tackled an awesome plumbing project using PVC, where they measured, cut, and assembled everything to match isometric drawings. Huge shoutout to the experts at Utah Career Center for the valuable training and for showing our future pros the ropes!
