ABC Pelican Craft Training, operated by the Associated Builders and Contractors Pelican Chapter, provides construction craft training at centers in Baton Rouge and Westlake. Its current welding program is competency-based and uses American Welding Society standards rather than NCCER welding curriculum. Students train hands-on in Stick plate, Stick pipe, and unrestricted TIG pipe welding through self-paced traditional schedules, with an accelerated daytime format also offered through the Southwest Training Center.
