This past Wednesday, our current welder cohort took a tour of Hanwha Philly Shipyard. The participants have completed 4 weeks of classroom instruction, which focused on developing skills around reading and interpreting blueprints, including how each component contributes to the larger ship structure. Next up, they are heading into 8 weeks of welding training designed to pass Hanwha’s welding tests to be eligible for hire post program. 
 
If you have experience in welding and are looking to grow your career, stay tuned for our next partnership with Hanwha and the Navy Yard launching next month!
