 WHAT
IS THE MECHANICAL INDUSTRY?
The
term mechanical industry covers the mechanical skills, crafts and management
techniques that are among the fundamental requirements for every type of
building, whether it be a school or factory, a hospital or a gigantic power
plant.
The
Mechanical Industry is responsible for installing the heating and air conditioning,
piping and plumbing systems without which buildings and other facilities
would be merely empty shells.
WHAT KIND OF
JOBS
DOES THE INDUSTRY
OFFER?
There
are a wide variety of jobs available. Estimators, draftsmen, foremen, designers,
pipe welders, managers, salesmen, plumbers, pipefitters, engineers and
accountants are but a few of the possible careers in this field.

ARE
THERE CREATIVE JOBS?
Definitely!
Every individual on a contractor's team plays an important
and significant role in the creation of the final living
structure that is being built and has a hand in the
creation of something that didn't exist before.
When
the job is completed, the finished building stands as a monument to all
the men and women who were part of its creation. Each time you drive by,
you will be reminded that you were part of making it happen. |
DOES IT PROVIDE
BENEFITS
TO OTHER PEOPLE?
The mechanical
industry provides systems that not only automatically
sustain our comfort and health, but it can be said that
the main reason for this industry's existence is to
serve people by creating an ever better environment
for them to live -- protecting the health and safety
of the nation.

DOES THIS INDUSTRY
OFFER A
STABLE BASE FOR
A PERSONAL CAREER,
AND GROWTH POTENTIAL
FOR THE FUTURE?
 Continually
arising new frontiers will require increasingly skilled craftsmen trained
in the mechanical industry.
Here
are just a few: air pollution control; development and installation of
control systems to banish pollution of precious existing fresh water sources;
and cryogenics, the science of handling and utilizing extreme cold by means
of specially designed systems to service society in new ways, from fresher
frozen foods to biochemical research.
These
are among the major opportunities for growth. To meet them successfully
the industry must offer growth to its people in their jobs, and even more
importantly, in their training and development.
