The UA has announced that HVACR service technicians who become UA S.T.A.R. certified will be awarded 30 college credits for successful completion of the S.T.A.R training and certification program - and they'll get paid to do it.
The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing, Pipefitting and Sprinklerfitting Industry of the United States and Canada (UA), developed its S.T.A.R. certification program with Ferris State University, located in Big Rapids, MI.
According to UA Director of Training George Bliss, apprentices will begin earning about $31,000 (U.S. National Average) while they learn their trade. After their fifth year and successful UA S.T.A.R. certification, service technicians can earn as much as $77,500 (U.S. National Average) per year and earn 30 credits toward an associate's degree in HVACR or construction supervision. Those who want to complete their associate's degree can earn the additional 30 to 35 credits through the UA's regional training system.
