Welding training is embedded within the center's four-year plumbing and pipefitting apprenticeships. Apprentices receive journeyman-led classroom and lab instruction, attend daytime school for eight one-week intervals each year, and complete paid on-the-job training. Plumbing apprentices must earn one industry-specific welding certification, and pipefitting apprentices must earn three. Supporting topics include metallurgy, welding techniques, measuring and technical drawings, but the official page does not identify particular welding processes.
