Description
The shipyard maintains welding equipment of all forms and sizes. Welding equipment repair apprentices receive training on the electrical system that provides power to the welding equipment before they move into learning to test, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain welding and burning equipment. As part of the training, apprentices are required to complete an extensive series of electrical theory courses to complement the mechanical and electronic on-the-job training needed when servicing a wide range of welding and burning equipment. Their training includes shop maintenance, as well as service calls to various areas in the yard and onboard ship.
