“Veterans in Piping” Pipefitter Apprentice
“The United Association played a crucial role in my transition from a soldier to a Pipefitter by providing comprehensive education, hands-on training, and a supportive community.”
Crystal
Plumber Apprentice
“I grew up believing girls were girls and only did girly things.” “As a woman, being able to learn to work with my hands and to KNOW I can take care of myself is EXHILARATING!” “I have made new brothers who have taken me under their wing and helped me become more than who I am and have shown women that we can be mighty and we can be women while doing whatever we love.”
Maribel

“Just remember, you CAN defy all stereotypes/expectations, and still dominate in this industry.”
