sheet metal Program

Sheet metal workers are unique from other trades in that they are the only trade that takes the raw material and fabricates HVAC systems, ductwork and architectural pieces they install. Because the role requires full knowledge of the sheet metal lifecycle — from raw materials and fabrication to installation, testing, and balancing — employees of SMACNA contractors all receive four years of apprentice training before they graduate to a journeyperson role and can work on a job site without supervision.

Sheet metal workers work in a shop or on the job site and can work in varied sector specialties depending on their employer including residential, commercial, architectural and industrial contractors.
