“Henry Plumbing continues to commit financially to the success of their employees; the WorkSource Coastal grant will provide the opportunity to nine employees to work toward their State of Georgia Journeymen Plumbing License.  The average certification cost is $2,000.00 per employee for tuition, books, travel expenses and other fees associated with training. This grant will allow us to have a highly trained staff that will be better able to serve the growing demand for plumbing/contracting/construction professionals across the Coastal Empire and Low Country.” shares CFO Tonya Reed.
