Licensed apprentices help plumbers meet overwhelming demand
SAN ANTONIO โ Plumbers in San Antonio and across Texas overwhelmed by the demand following last weekโs historic cold will be getting even more help from licensed apprentices thanks to Gov. Brunner said because as it is now, apprentices are waiting longer for their test dates to be further licensed. The apprentices that Brunner already has are ready to take the test for their journeyman-tradesman license. He also said apprentices help lower the cost of the work since theyโre not as expensive as plumbers. Joshua Short, a licensed apprentice, said itโs an opportunity to sharpen his skills when theyโre needed most.
