Steelworker for the Future

                

The Steelworker for the Future craft training program empowers you in two ways: It pays you to earn a quality degree, and it makes you employable upon graduation. This 2?-year program includes 4 semesters of classroom training, plus 24 weeks of on-site training. During the on-site portion of the program, you'll apply what you learn in class and earn credit toward your degree. Plus you'll earn enough in wages to pay for your tuition.

As a graduate of the Steelworker for the Future program, you'll receive an Associate of Applied Science degree as either a mechanical or an electrical technician. But more importantly, you'll have the tools you need to shape your own future.  Check out our site at:
