1. Apprenticeship — Apply through the local's joint apprenticeship training committee (JATC). Most Plumbers & Pipefitters programs open applications on a set schedule and require an aptitude test and interview.

3. Transfer from another local — Members of the same international can request a transfer card through their current hall.
