JCAD

Journey Worker Computer Aided Drafting (JCAD) is a structured, two-year program for journey workers to pursue training in software to create, design and visualize efficient piping systems.

The JCAD program plays a vital role in meeting the increasing demand for CAD operators within the piping industry by providing experienced journey-level plumbers and pipefitters.
