The Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors of Nevada Education Foundation may be taking applications from the public in July of 2011 for the 2011 class year.

The state of the local economy is preventing jobs from being offered to many new apprentices. The maximum size of this year's class will likely be 10.
