KANSAS CITY, MO — The Mechanical Contractors Association (MCA) of Greater Kansas City has launched a special apprenticeship recruitment project, entitled “We Built This City.” The program was released to 80 Mechanical Contractor Association of America (MCAA) affiliates last May.
The program contains a booklet and two CD-ROMs that can be customized for a contractor’s use in his/her local area.
The booklet — aimed at high school guidance counselors, students, and their parents — describes the role that plumbers and pipefitters have played in building the infrastructure of Kansas City. It also explains the plumbing and pipefitting occupations, how the apprenticeship program works, and what salaries apprentices can expect to receive.
