Welcome to the forum. Although you can post in any forum, the USA forum is here in case of local regs or laws
I know the current situation is terrible. What is not helping is these quick training courses that offer training as a plumber in 4 months. There is no way anyone can be a plumber in such a short time and the plumbing market is saturated anyway without these courses adding to the problem. I went to college for 4 years to become a plumber and gained valuable experience on site while doing so, so how can anyone be a competent tradesman in only 4 months?
These courses need to tell the truth, that jobs are extremely limited and that becoming a plumber is not a Utopian way to make a living. Plus employers look for practical experience as much as being able to write about it.
Fact....
The people who sell courses about how to train as a plumber will make far more money than actually becoming a plumber.

The best teacher that train someone to be a plumber is a good experienced tradesman. I know plumbers that have never been to college, but are fantastic at what they do.
Just a thought, if the thousands of young trainees who sat a plumbing course did get a job, where would that leave us? Plumbers already face an ever shrinking customer demand for their services. So existing plumbers struggling to make ends meet would probably become redundant in an over saturated market and the youngsters would quickly follow.
In my opinion.
