Construction is complete on a new 33,000-sq-ft career center in Salt Lake City for plumbers, pipefitters, welders and HVAC&R technicians run by the Utah Mechanical Contractors Association and United Association Local 140.
The Utah Career Center, which replaces an existing career center, is expected to achieve LEED-Gold certification and will train and recertify more than 1,000 tradesmen annually. UMCA and UA’s apprenticeship programs require over 1,350 hours of training—far exceeding most educational trade program requirements.
