NAPLES, FL — Pro-Tec Plumbing & Air, a family-owned business serving the region since 2008, celebrates 17 years of service with major milestones, including the success of its State of Florida-recognized Technician Apprenticeship Program and a significant expansion into Lee and Charlotte counties.
Tackling the Skilled Worker Gap
Pro-Tec’s Technician Apprenticeship Program, developed in partnership with Fort Myers Technical College, is creating solutions for the labor shortage by providing paid, hands-on training to aspiring plumbers and HVAC technicians. Participants follow a plan from entry-level roles to leadership positions, offering not just jobs but career pathways in an industry with growing demand.
In 2024, the program welcomed four apprentices, with two already completing their field training and now independently managing service trucks. (For more information about apprenticeship opportunities, visit PTPFlorida.com.)
