School of Trades Technology

Retiring tradespeople and a construction boom in Western Pennsylvania mean new opportunities for skilled workers with the drive to succeed.

WQED Pittsburgh recently visited our campus to film PTC welding student Kaitlyn Boyce and her faculty instructor, Chance Georgetti, as part of their “Future Jobs” series. It highlights the PTC welding program and new career opportunities in the field—and will be of special interest to those of you thinking about entering the field. Worth a watch.

Energy Tech Center

In our associate and certificate programs, you’ll work hands-on in environments that are as real-world as it gets—from our 15,392 square-foot Energy Tech Center for the Welding Technology and HVAC Technology programs to the residential, commercial, and industrial labs for our Electrician technology program.

Work with instructors who know the trades inside and out.

Teaching those skills takes more than a depth of experience and knowledge. It takes a real passion for passing along all that experience and knowledge to prepare others for rewarding careers. In our School of Trades Technology, you’ll work with instructors who are ready and able to share everything they’ve learned working in the field.

Put your skills to work in an internship.

The learning gets even more real as you apply your skills in an internship—you might just join the ranks of PTC grads who’ve turned those internships into full-time jobs. View Potential Employers.
