At Henry Plumbing Company, investing in the future of the skilled trades has always been important. As plumbing and construction industries continue facing growing workforce shortages nationwide, programs that introduce students to careers in the trades are becoming more valuable than ever.
That’s why Henry Plumbing was proud to partner with the Savannah chapter of the ACE Mentor Program, an organization dedicated to helping students explore careers in architecture, construction, and engineering.
What Is ACE Mentoring?
The ACE Mentor Program is a national nonprofit organization that connects high school students with professionals working in the architecture, construction, and engineering industries. Through mentorship, hands-on projects, job site exposure, and career guidance, students gain valuable insight into the wide range of opportunities available within the skilled trades and construction industries.
The program helps students better understand how different industries work together on real-world projects while encouraging the next generation of builders, designers, engineers, and trade professionals.
Supporting the Next Generation of Skilled Trades
The demand for skilled trades professionals continues to grow across Georgia and throughout the country. Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and construction careers offer long-term stability, strong earning potential, and opportunities for advancement, yet many industries are seeing fewer young people entering the workforce.
Programs like ACE Mentoring help bridge that gap by giving students direct exposure to career paths they may not have previously considered.
For companies like Henry Plumbing, supporting workforce development is about more than filling future jobs. It’s about helping students discover meaningful careers while strengthening the local community for years to come.
Plumbing Careers Offer Real Opportunities
Modern plumbing careers involve much more than many people realize. Today’s plumbing professionals work with advanced technology, commercial systems, water conservation solutions, natural gas systems, remodeling projects, medical facilities, restaurants, schools, and large-scale construction projects.
Skilled plumbers are essential to nearly every residential and commercial construction project throughout Savannah and the Coastal Empire.
As a fourth-generation family-owned company serving the area since 1968, Henry Plumbing understands firsthand the importance of passing knowledge and experience to the next generation.
Building Stronger Communities Through Mentorship
Community partnerships and mentorship programs play an important role in creating stronger local industries and stronger communities. By participating in ACE Mentoring, Henry Plumbing had the opportunity to share industry knowledge, answer student questions, and help young people better understand the wide variety of opportunities available within plumbing and construction careers.
Investing in education and workforce development today helps ensure communities like Savannah continue to have skilled professionals available for generations to come.
