Norwell, MA – American Plumbing & Heating owner and president Joseph Clancy recently hosted the graduating class from Building Pathways in Boston.

Students received hands‐on experience at the American Plumbing & Heating Fabrication Shop in Norwell.

Joseph Clancy, along with fabrication shop foreman, Bill Ferguson, demonstrated soldering, pipe cutting, materials prep, and quality control practices.

“You may learn about plumbing in a classroom but having the hands‐on experience is invaluable to apprentices,” said Clancy. “We are fortunate to have the space and the talent to help mentor these young students. What they experienced during their visit will stay with them throughout their career.”
