“IWSH Plumbing Champions projects inspire young people to pursue careers in plumbing and highlight the profession’s true scope as champions of public health and resource conservation,” said Dave Viola, current World Plumbing Council Chair and Chief Executive Officer of IAPMO.
“We prioritize projects for community centers, such as schools or health facilities, where our impact has the highest visibility and will benefit the greatest number of local people. We demonstrate that modern plumbing is way more than unclogging toilets—it’s everything that goes into innovating, designing, installing, and maintaining advanced water infrastructure and technologies that create stronger, more resilient communities,” Viola said.

At WorldSkills Lyon 2024, we collaborated with GROHE, part of LIXIL—a longstanding IWSH partner—who, along with IAPMO, is a WorldSkills Global Industry Partner. GROHE contributed products to the WorldSkills Plumbing and Heating competition, while IAPMO contributed its deep expertise in plumbing codes and standards towards assessing the competition.
