We’re excited to welcome our new apprentices and locate additional talent. Our industry partners have been instrumental in sending us excellent people.”

Management and staff are actively recruiting online, conducting webinars, attending and speaking at trades fairs, developing relationships with Indigenous Youth organizations and have industry partnerships in place with educational institutions such as BCIT, Vancouver Technical School and the Tsleil Waututh, Squamish and Musqueam Nations trades and career centres.

Warrior Plumbing apprentices become valuable team members, showcasing the program’s effectiveness in attracting and retaining top talent. Apprentices work alongside experienced mentors who guide them through the trade, helping them gain practical skills, knowledge, and confidence.
