Local 166 and the contractors we work with are proud of a long and distinguished history in Fort Wayne, with roots dating back to 1899. Today, with almost 700 working members and 35 contractor members, we are dedicated to continuing this tradition of excellence. Our partnership results in an investment of over $500,000 per year to make sure our workforce has the most up-to-date skills for every project. Our plumbers, pipe fitters, welders, and HVAC service technicians are the best in the industry. Contact us for information about our workforce, our career opportunities, and our dedication to the advancement of the plumbing and piping industry.
Local 166 prides itself on becoming more of a presence in the communities in which they work and is heavily committed to giving back. The organization donates nearly 600 hours of community service a year collectively and is involved with many local charitable programs.
Local 166 has partnered with Ivy Tech for more than a decade to make sure that members are receiving the best training possible. The school offers a program that takes an apprentice all the way to journeyman status throught a five-year program.
Students who have completed the curriculum are awarded an associate's degree in their trade, as well as a Building Trades Journeyperson's Card.
