Allied Mechanical Services, Inc Highlight

Allied Mechanical Services, Inc. (AMS) is one of Michigan’s largest and most experienced full-service mechanical contracting firms. To equip and train the next generation of plumbers and pipefitters, AMS established its Department of Labor-certified apprenticeship program in 2004.

The apprenticeship is a paid, four-year program that develops apprentices in both the plumbing and pipefitting trades. Classes combine bookwork along with hands-on training. When not in class, apprentices gain on-the-job training at an AMS jobsite.

Since its inauguration, the program has seen nearly fifty apprentices graduate and become successful journeymen.

Funds from the State Apprenticeship Expansion (SAE) Grant assisted with continuing to provide the apprenticeship program at no cost to its apprentices, paving a pathway to a successful career in the construction trades.
