The plumbing trades are an integral component of the construction and housing industries. Plumbers support the infrastructure necessary for economic development. In addition, plumbers support residential and commercial users for remodeling, emergencies, and service calls.

Southeast Technical College through a Plumbing Diploma program would provide regional employers with graduates capable of working in industry immediately. Southeast Tech currently has a number of strong trade programs, and we believe that the addition of a Plumbing Diploma would provide students additional choices.

Plumbers may work on residential and commercial projects. They may do new installations as well as service calls to repair existing systems.

TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS: This degree is a Bring Your Own Laptop (BYOL) program. You may purchase a laptop on your own or from the Southeast Tech IT Support Center.
