Philadelphia professionals who want to pursue high-wage, full-time careers in the skilled trades can now take advantage of a new Welder B training program in partnership with the Hanwha Philly Shipyard. The effort is a collaboration between PIDC and the University City District’s Skills Initiative at the Navy Yard.
Since 2020, the Skills Initiative at the Navy Yard has operated 17 cohorts and helped 252 Philadelphians start new careers. According to Philly Voice, the new partnership with Hanwha Philly Shipyard builds on previous collaborations that connected applicants to shipbuilding training through an apprenticeship model. This new program enables applicants who have already obtained welding certification or experience to connect directly with training to become full-performance welders.
