Plumbers Local 5 Apprenticeship Program

• For information about the apprenticeship program, application process, and an FAQ, visit our website.
• Plumbers Local 5 began a structured apprentice training program in 1940, but our union has been around for more than 130 years. We give apprentice plumbers an opportunity to earn while they learn, while building and maintaining the facilities where DC, Maryland, and Virginia residents work, play, learn, and heal.
• Apprentices start at $20.66 per hour, work 32 hours per week, and attend class for one 8-hour day per week while earning medical and retirement benefits. Graduates make a minimum of $45.92 per hour, or over $95,500 per year plus those benefits.
• As a generation of plumbers retire, we need new plumbers to fill those jobs. We do much more than repair toilets or clean drains. We build hospitals, embassies, K-12 schools, colleges, labs, tech sites, stadiums, and government facilities. Come join us as We Protect the Health of our Nation!”
