The ITI has approximately 150 training centers across the United States and Canada and provides four- or five-year programs to qualified apprentices in HVAC, welding, architectural, sign design, building information modeling (BIM), testing, adjusting, and balancing air flow (TAB), commercial and residential service, and more. Because the schools are supported by the individual memberships, students graduate debt free. They also earn while they learn as they work on job sites, testing and honing the skills they learn in the lab, shop and classroom.
There is no need for a veteran to start over, earning minimal wages. They can get to work on a career — complete with benefits — that can last their lifetime.
At most training centers across the country, qualified veterans may have direct entry or be eligible for advanced standing in the apprenticeship, bypassing waiting lists and timetables. Direct entry takes the skills veterans have learned in the military and puts them right to work.
