RE: Continual Professional Development for ALL Plumbers in Victoria. Skill Acquisition - Plumbing Apprenticeship/Tafe V's Skill Maintenance - Continual Professional Development. We've always prided ourselves on being more than just plumbers; we're skilled tradesmen who set the standard for quality in our industry. Now, it's time to take that commitment to the next level with Continuing Professional Development (CPD). CPD is all about staying sharp, skilled, and ahead of the curve. It's our chance to keep learning and growing in our craft, ensuring we remain the best at what we do. But here's the kicker: the way CPD is governed and distributed is currently up for discussion, and if we don't speak up, others will make those decisions for us. We can't let people who've never set foot on a worksite dictate our professional growth. If we stay silent, we risk being saddled with unrealistic CPD demands that don't reflect our real-world experience. So, here's the call to arms: Visit the link below and make your voice heard. This is our opportunity to shape CPD for Plumbers in a way that works for us, the ones out in the field every day. Let's make sure our expertise and practical knowledge lead the way in shaping these standards. 🔗 Have Your Say on CPD https://lnkd.in/gibpF_f3

How to learn a plumbing trade

There is an art to plumbing. It takes a skilled hand and sharp mind to handle complex piping systems. Their proper installation and maintenance are essential for the day-to-day operation of any building. Plumbers' tasks can range from simple fixes like replacing a worn-out washer to complex installations of new fixtures and drain lines. Here's what you'll do as a plumber: Fixing leaks: The classic leaky pipe under the sink. This may seem like a small repair, but water bills can quickly spiral when a dripping faucet isn't addressed. Even worse, a burst pipe can cause major flooding. Clearing clogs: Clogged drains are a serious inconvenience and a job only plumbers have the right tools for. Installing fixtures: From toilets and sinks to dishwashers and water heaters, plumbers install a wide range of fixtures, both utilitarian and decorative. Maintaining systems: Regular maintenance tasks like inspecting pipes, checking water pressure, and cleaning drains prevent future problems and extend the lifespan of plumbing systems. If you're interested in pursuing a career in plumbing, check out apprenticeship opportunities or sign up for classes at a local trade school.💧🚿 #PlumbingSkills #SkilledTrades #PipeMasters #FixingLeaks #ClogBusters #FixtureInstallation #MaintenanceMatters #PlumbingLife #WaterWonders #TradeSchoolJourney #PlumberInTraining #ApprenticeshipOpportunities #CareerInPlumbing #WaterWorks #SkilledHands #PlumbingArtistry

US should invest in trades…. The infrastructure buildout could be slowed by lack of qualified electricians and piping skills. US should consider following the Canadian and German practice of licensed electricians and other professionals needed to build and maintain the backbone of civilization. Honor and compensate these skills as critical to the transition to low carbon infrastructure.

Careers Coach. Engaging 50,000+ students and stakeholders with the Careers Calendar across the UK and Abroad.
I once thought about becoming a Plumber. So I gave it a go, I quickly learned it was a bit draining. Plumbing isn't for everyone, and there are other trades. The skill that I most enjoy flexing in my career is listening and talking. According to Kingfisher, the UK is set to lose out on £98bn of growth by 2030 due to shortage of tradespeople. We've all been there. Called a plumber and been told we'd have to wait a few days. The economy will only grow with a national careers strategy designed to inspire and inform young people about the opportunities that are available. Careers Development Professionals, especially trained Impartial Careers Advisers, are equipped and able to drive this agenda. #careers

Specializing in Digital Transformation, Product Development, IT Consulting and Client Services. I’m a Tech Evangelist with a ‘dad-abase’ of Dad Jokes. I’m a Solution Provider, a Problem Solver.
A shortage of plumbers in the U.S. threatens to not only delay your leaky sink repair; it’s also costing the economy billions. Put simply, there are not enough new plumbers to replace those heading into retirement. Over the next decade, the number of open jobs for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters will average about 42,600 each year, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Contributing to the shortage is the perception that plumbing is a dirty job with long hours. Fixing the problem will take time. “This is a generational issue,” according to one industry expert. https://lnkd.in/g3p4auJz

Did you know, a licensed plumber must study at TAFE, or Master Plumbers and Mechanical Services Association of Australia, for approx 6 years before they gain their plumbing licence? This includes a 4 year apprenticeship plus an additional 1-3 years for a Cert IV Plumbing and Services, and proven plumbing management experience. It’s not just digging holes and smoko; we have one of the most diverse trades around from roofing to gas fitting, hot water, sewers and HVAC. Recently, a client of ours asked what the difference was between a registered and a licensed plumber. In this article we explain the key difference between the two classes of plumbing certification. #plumbing #plumbers #constructionindustry #vba

When things go wrong dont stress, just ring and discuss how we are going to fix things and move on.
6moGlen corre, it is up to all of us to try to direct our future, not those that have absolutely no idea or practical experience. Government has an agenda with this, as too the RTOs’. CPD should be introduced but not as is dictated here.
