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 449 offers state
of the art training year round.

including: Pipe Fabrication, Pipe Welding, Orbital Tube
