Our Training Center is fully self-funded by Local 95 and Mia Master Installatar Association. By doing so, we maintain the training within our own facility and association; we virtually guarantee employment without having a massive unemployment percentage. Students are brought in to the union based on hours. The training is divided into two main components; in class theory learning and hands on work in the shop. Students are not only provided with tools, but more importantly, they are provided with opportunity.

There are three levels of schooling, all consisting of a period of six weeks. You learn things such as blueprint readings, safety, WHIMS, Subject matter, fundamental installations practice: we help them establish type of materials, why they used, how to select them and how to properly install the systems including all different types of systems and equipment. Mathematics is a huge aspect of the theory component. Students learn everything from fractional work, decimal work, material usage and material needs, premier areas takes us into geometry, layout, scaling, design patterns and fabricate components for installation systems.

In their first year, they mainly focus on basic geometry, bisecting angles, understand practices in basic geometry. As they begin their second year, they start applying geometry to calculating perimeter, area and geometric shapes and then take the geometric shapes and apply the formulas to the mechanical system. In their last year, they take the fine tune fabricating layout and technique and apply to it to blue print and drawings. Temperature ranges are huge in the installation world, understanding temperature is very important. Extreme cold ranges, system could be damaged, hazardous things. Safety is a major issue; essentially we want students to understand that a lot of things can go wrong if the job isn’t done right. We emphasize the value of their life, and as a result we ensure they know the proper and safe steps to partake on site.
