Plumbing Class Works on Habitat House
The Plumbing class at the Tennessee Technology Center at McKenzie has just completed work on plumbing for the tenth Habitat for Humanity House in Henry County. The class, under the direction of Instructor Darrel Roland, spent over 100 man hours working on the project with help from Habitat volunteer Joe Snow. “These 12 students enjoyed the opportunity to apply the trade they are learning at the same time being able to give back to such a worthwhile cause” said Roland. The Plumbing class is sponsored through a grant from the Workforce Investment Act (WIA 11) that is retraining dislocated and underemployed workers in Northwest Tennessee.
