Advanced Marine Pipefitting

Job Corps’ Advanced Marine Pipefitting training program teaches students advanced skills like installing and maintaining pipes that may carry chemicals, acids and gases, interpreting marine piping system blueprints to determine the correct components and raw materials needed to construct and install piping systems and pipe support structures, and removing hazardous materials to prevent or minimize the release of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive debris. These skills prepare students for a career in building and maintaining boats and ships of all sizes, working in factories, processing plants, nuclear reactors or refineries, or even a fire suppression company to help install fire sprinklers. Students who complete Advanced Marine Pipefitting at Job Corps can earn nationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society (AWS) and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS).
