Education Process
Current Employees
Employees are admitted to the welding school based on crew leader recommendations, training needs of JWF Industries, and new product lines. Every new hire and co-op student must complete welding school and pass basic welding certifications such as GMAW-carbon steel and 1G position.
High School Junior Students
Each spring, JWF Industries interviews high school juniors that are currently enrolled in a state-approved welding program at one of the area vocational schools. Once selected, the welding students are required to participate in a four or five week in-house training program. This training program is convened at our state-of-the-art training classroom located at the Iron Street facility. Each junior welding student must pass welding certifications prior to transitioning to a production position in our main facility. If interested in this program, students should discuss with their high school co-op adviser.
