Two Local San Diego Plumbers from Bill Howe Plumbing, Inc. Graduate from PHCC Academy
(PRWEB) June 30, 2015 -- Bill Howe Plumbing, Inc. is one of the largest family-owned and operated service and repair companies in San Diego. Bill Howe offers all employees ample opportunity for education and training in their field, paid for by the company, through several organizations, but most notably through the local Plumbing-Heating-Cooling-Contractors of San Diego (PHCC-SD). The San Diego plumbing company has been a long standing member of the PHCC supporting licensed San Diego plumbers, education and high industry standards.
On June 27, the PHCC of San Diego hosted the 123rd annual Installation of Officers and Graduation Ceremony at the Island Palms Hotel & Marina in Shelter Island. Graduates participated in a 4-year program, the PHCC Journeyman Apprenticeship that prepares them for taking their Journeyman License Test. Since inception in 2008, the academy has seen hundreds of students complete the program and enter into the trade as licensed Journeyman plumbers. Bill Howe Plumbing, Inc. has had over 40 of its employees take part in the program and this year will celebrate the fourth graduating class, with two of their own.
Justin Gould and Gilbert Baca began the PHCC Apprenticeship Program in 2011, and have each completed the 4-year course while working full time. It is a part class work one night each week; part on the job training led by industry leaders and is fully accredited. The San Diego plumbers have also been with Bill Howe Plumbing, Justin as a Lead Epoxy Lining Technician, and Gilbert in the drain services division, since 2010 and 2006, respectively. Each has worked their way from laborer, to drain tech trainee to lead technician in their chosen fields and are model employees and students.
“Bill and I have been a part of the PHCC for many years, and both of us have also served on the board and as President of the local chapter,” said Tina Howe, Vice President of Bill Howe Plumbing, inc. “In our industry, it is so important that our field techs are trained for their jobs.
