Plumbers Bridge Program and Tech Campus Celebrates a Successful First Year
This year marked an exciting milestone for Lake County Tech Campus as they partnered for the first time with Plumbers’ Local 130 U.A. to participate in their Plumbers Bridge Program. This is a hands-on program that is designed to connect students directly to the skilled trades. Our first-year participating was a tremendous success and demonstrated the power of collaboration between industry and education.
Beginning in October, 16 Lake County Tech Campus students committed to the program, and all 16 successfully completed it and includes JHS senior, Gaven Hauck. This completion is a testament to their dedication, perseverance, and interest in pursuing careers in the plumbing trade. For three months, students dedicated spending two nights a week at the Volo Training Center to participate in the program. While all participants attend Tech Campus, they represent 10 different sending high schools and come from six different career and technical education programs, highlighting the program’s broad reach and appeal across the county.
Throughout the program, students built foundational skills essential for success in the field, including jobsite safety, trade-related math, and the proper use and application of industry tools. Instruction emphasized real-world expectations and prepared students for both interviews and future apprenticeship opportunities. As part of the program’s culmination, 12 students participated in formal interviews with Plumbers’ Local 130 U.A. Five students received letters of intent to hire from various companies, an outstanding outcome for a first-year partnership and a strong indicator of the program’s impact. The success of the Plumbers Bridge Program highlights what is possible when education and industry work together and they look forward to continuing and growing this partnership in the years ahead.
