Contractors Pair with Local High School on Building Future Labor Force

The Milwaukee and Southeastern Wisconsin Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors Association (PMC) and Sheetmetal and Air Conditioning Contractors Association (SMACCA), along with contractor members JM Brennan and TOTAL Mechanical and local manufacturers representative Air Flow, have partnered with Wauwatosa East High School to develop Tosa East’s learning laboratory further to prepare better the building and construction trades’ labor force of the future. 

These organizations have collaborated on developing the HVAC component of its technical training space so that students can be better prepared for a career in the building trades through participating in one of only two Certified Pre-Apprenticeship (“CPA”) programs in Wisconsin.

“At Tosa East, we are very proud of our program. The students are building a solid foundation, and it’s all due to the partners we have,” said Craig Griffie, the technical educational teacher at Wauwatosa East High School and the coordinator of the CPA program. ]
