The state-registered Welding Apprenticeship front-loads 576 hours of related classroom and shop training before participants seek employment with a registered sponsor and complete about 8,000 hours of employer-supervised on-the-job training toward journeyman status. Current welding delivery is documented at the Seaford Innovation Center, with Welding Technician also offered at the New Castle Innovation and Technology Center.
