The continuing education and workforce development division at Wor-Wic Community College is offering a free metal fabrication training course that runs Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., starting July 8 and ending Oct. 14 in Salisbury.
This course is designed to provide students with the skills necessary to secure employment as entry-level metal fabricators. Students will progress from basic blueprint reading and industry math to fundamental fitting practices for a variety of metal shapes. Students will also be taught how to work safely within industry standards and to recognize and avoid hazards. An introduction to hand and power tools is also included.
Tuition is free, but applicants must go through a selection process and space is limited. The training is being funded by grants from the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation and the Maryland Energy Administration.
