LUBBOCK, TX – Explore The Trades and Ferguson has granted $25,000 worth of equipment and products to Lubbock ISD’s Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center in Lubbock, TX. This equipment and products, with the help of Armstrong Plumbing, Air & Electric, will be used to create a plumbing skills lab.

Chris Carpenter, President of Armstrong, could not be more excited about this opportunity. “Armstrong is a trusted company in Lubbock, and we pride ourselves in staffing professional technicians. This grant gives Lubbock ISD the ability to teach potential future employees of all area plumbing companies in a realistic setting and ensure that they understand every technical detail of their job before being sent out into our community.”
