Welding Apprenticeship

Certificate Program

Delaware Tech is proud to offer a State of Delaware Registered Apprenticeship in welding!

Unlike most apprenticeships, our innovative Welding Apprenticeship Program will provide participants with all of the classroom training during their very first year. Once the classroom training is complete, our newly skilled welders will have the knowledge and experience to start the process of obtaining employment for their remaining on-the-job training and completion of the apprenticeship. This “learning first” apprenticeship model has been successfully implemented in other states and is becoming the preferred training model for many of the technical and skilled trade industries.

Textbooks, safety glasses, welding helmets, jackets, and gloves are included.

NOTE: Long pants and composite or steel-toed shoes are required for all welding classes.

Offered at the following location(s): Bridgeville (ITPC)

What You Can Do

Take the next steps to become a Welding Journeyman:

• Apply for a job with Delaware’s registered sponsors.
• If hired, your employer/sponsor will oversee the 8,000-hour (about four years) on-the-job training (OJT) that is required for the completion of a State of Delaware Registered Apprenticeship.

In this program, you will gain the knowledge and skills to prepare you for positions such as:

• Welding apprentice
• Plumbing & Pipefitter apprentice
• Welding Technician (entry level)
• Pipefitter
• Metal fabricator
• Shipbuilder
