On this episode of Tradeswork: The Rocky Mountain Mechanical Contractors Association Podcast, we welcome Sarah Harkssen, an instructor at Plumbers Local Union 3. She recently completed her apprenticeship program (winning awards for her work during each year of the program) and has already transitioned into a foreman role. Sarah discusses her journey into plumbing, what her original career path was, and why she transitioned into the trades. Here are some of the questions you can expect to be answered on this show:
- What does it mean to be an apprentice?
- What types of things do you learn in apprentice classes?
- How did Sarah ascend from apprentice to journeyman to foreman?
- What would Sarah tell other women considering a job in the trades?
- How do plumbers protect the health of a nation?
- What are the economic benefits of pursuing a job in the trades vs. taking a traditional 4-year college path?
