This past weekend on Saturday, June 1, we held a ceremony at the Pittsburgh Event Center on the Local 449 campus for the 129 apprentices who graduated from the Local 449 Steamfitters Apprenticeship Class of 2024. Congratulations!
It takes five years of training and hard work to graduate from the apprenticeship program. As the graduates received their diplomas, they also enjoyed food and cocktails, thinking back to their first days in the program and excited about their future careers.
Throughout the ceremony, Local 449 leadership shared speeches to celebrate these new journeymen Steamfitters.
“We are so excited for these graduates who will continue their careers as an expert in their field without any student debt,” said Tom Doran, Building Trades Education Director at Local 449’s Technology Center. “It is these Steamfitters who will help carry on our tradition of excellence and superior craftsmanship for the next 100 years.”
