About PHCC-GSA Training Facility
PHCC-GSA Training programs give students the opportunity to learn a trade with paid hands-on experience, and while building a career.
Students work for a C-36 Plumbing licensed contractor and are paid for on-the-job training. Students are required to complete 800 hours of classroom instruction and 7,200 hours of on-the-job training during the four (4) year program.
The federally-approved apprenticeship program runs in conjunction with the state-approved training program. Students are registered with the United States Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship, and are approved to work on Davis Bacon projects.
Students must be physically able to perform the work of the trade and be willing to follow the Rules and Regulations and Standards governing the program.
Apprentice Program
PHCC-GSA Training Facility offers State & Federal registered Plumbing apprenticeship training programs for 47 Northern California counties.
California requires the use of apprentices on all state public works construction projects. PHCC Apprentices are registered with the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and are authorized to work on public works projects.
Trainee Program
The trainee program is offered to employers who perform residential and/or private commercial work. This program parallels the Apprenticeship Program and is offered throughout the state. The difference between the apprenticeship and trainee programs is that trainees are not registered with the Division of Apprenticeship Standards and cannot work as apprentices on Public Works projects. Trainees receive the same education and training as apprentices.
