in THE MAIN WALL
Through local product representative Advanced Hydronics, Peerless trainers arrived at Mechanics Institute (the trade education program run by The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen) to give a stirring seminar about the functions, benefits, and proper maintenance and troubleshooting procedures for residential steam heating systems.
It was a great evening for our students and they all left with a folder of invaluable reference materials. These young technicians and plumbing students are the future of our industry and the General Society is beyond proud to be a part of their professional journey. Thank you, Peerless and Advanced Hydronics, for making yourselves available. You've made 30 new friends in the industry.

    @JohnNY I agree with you, Advanced Hydronics and Peerless Boilers go above and beyond. Glad to see there are still new people coming into our field. Sat next to Gerry Hogan (the Peerless instructor) at dinner years ago, he knows is stuff and is very easy to talk to.

    The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen is such a great group; love that old building.

    On aside note, what are they doing to the library? It that a temporary deck for falling object protection from work being performed on roof?

    Things may be starting to turn around. They have been complaining about the lack new students coming into the trades for the last 15 years or so. At code update classes they said the average age of plumbers, pipefitters and electricians was 56 years old. And that was years ago. Probably a lot higher now.

    But at my latest update this past weekend the instructor who also teaches in a trade school said that things are picking up and the school had 350-400 new students.

    The pendulum swings.

    It looks like rigging for lighting and such although it seems very elaborate for a tech class.

    They are restoring the skylight.

    We are seeing the same here in Virginia, the electrical union training center’s current class is larger this year than the past several years.
