Program Overview
Welcome to the William Jewett Training Center and the Bruce McBride Firestop Institute located just miles from the Las Vegas strip. Here we pride ourselves on producing the most qualified and professional Mechanics for the Insulation Industry. From light commercial to heavy industrial we do it all. Our insulation program consist of a 5 year earn as you learn apprenticeship. During these five years students will gradually learn all aspects of the trade while earning the wage based on their level of learning. This allows the student to gain experience and knowledge at the same time. Once you have enough work hours along with school hours the student will move up to the next level of learning. Our trade school is backed and accredited by the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) so every student that attends these classes also earns college credits. After all courses are completed students may receive an Associate’s Degree from CSN.
Our Bruce McBride Firestop Institute is our firestop training facility. Here is where we train our pre apprentices. This program gives opportunities for individuals to experience the trade at a very early stage. Joining this program can give you a leg up in joining the apprenticeship program. Firestoppers are expected to perform the tasks as professionals while getting to know their fellow brothers and sisters. This program is also used to gauge individuals on their motivation and interest in the trade.
