This apprenticeship offers a unique opportunity to earn while you learn, combining hands-on field experience with academic rigor. Participants will complete 19 courses through a nationally recognized university, ensuring a comprehensive education in fire protection systems.

About the Role

As a Sprinkler Apprentice, you will gain practical, real-world experience under the guidance of industry experts.

The program is structured to advance your skills systematically. Every six months, you will receive a raise as you progress through the classes, moving from an entry-level apprentice toward a Foreman.
