"While I was in Belle Vernon Area High School I also went to Vo-Tech for Carpentry. I really liked it but I would like to learn about the pipefitter apprenticeship program."

If you've earned any vocational certifications after high school, this is where you'd share what your certification is in (i.e. carpentry). You can also relate the foundational carpentry or other technical skills you've mastered and explain how those skills would translate to the world of pipefitting. You can include a variety of skills such as accurate measuring and cutting of materials, use of heavy equipment or power tools, and safety guidelines around using power tools or other equipment.
