WNDU-TV recently covered an Industry Day event in South Bend, Indiana that was hosted by U.A. Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 172, which attracted students from a host of schools who were interested in a career in pipefitting, welding and HVAC work.  The students were given a unique opportunity to learn all about the benefits of working in the Building Trades, as well as participate in a Q&A session about Apprenticeship Programs.  “This is our second annual, I call it ‘Industrial Day,’ and what it is, is kind of like a hands-on job fair,” said Jeremy Lucas, a Training and Apprenticeship Coordinator for Local 172. “I reach out to area high schools, young adults looking for a career in plumbing and pipefitting, HVAC, welding. It sparks more interest than a standard job fair, I mean standing behind a table.”
