Training
No other organization serves the
training needs of the piping industry
like the United Association. For
over a century, the UA has been training
the most highly-qualified workers in the
United States and Canada.
Over the past several decades, the
United Association's training programs
have produced a stable, skilled
workforce responsible for building and
maintaining piping systems in the
various industrial and residential
facilities that make up the North
American landscape.
No one can match the commitment or
investment. The UA spends over $100
million annually on training programs
efforts involving approximately 100,000
journeymen and apprentices in over 400
local training facilities at any given
time.
If the United Association wanted to
select the area which best reflects this
commitment to the training and
excellence produced, it could well look
to state of Pennsylvania. Thanks
in part to our relationship with the Mechanical
Contractors Association, Steamfitters local
420 offers state of the art
training year round.

in many skills including: Pipe Fabrication, Pipe Welding,
Orbital Tube Welding, Medical Gas Systems, Process Safety
