Advise or leads on apprenticeships or trade colleges in FL

admin

Hey! So, I have a few basic courses under my belt. I'm no pro by any stretch of the imagination. Though, I am good with my hands and I have been able to learn relatively quickly. I originally had my mind set on going to Hobart, then TWS ended up making more sense at the time. Now, I'm learning that apprenticeships or internships might be the better route to follow. I'd like to do that as well as attend a trade school to gain alternative skills and certifications. I'd like to focus in structural or pipe and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for schools or any good unions or companies to work for having little experience in the trade? I mean my only known resource would be craigslist, unless any of you know more of a specialized place to go to look for trade work...any input is appreciated. Thank you very much.-Jess

I'm just looking for some insight into any helpful  programs throughout the states.  "Now you have focused on Florida.  Swamp, you may have a friend here, although she may be more suited for the Key West School of Welding.  Last edited by storeman; 11-02-2014 at 08:56 PM.Reason: clarity30+ yrs Army Infantry & Field Artillery, 25 yrs agoMiller 350LX Tig Runner TA 210, spool gunLincoln 250/250 IdealArcESAB PCM 500i PlasmaKazoo 30"  vert BSKazoo 9x16 horiz BSClausing 12x24 lathe20T Air Press
Reply:Yees, I mean theoretically I could go anywhere. I don't have ties anywhere but Massachusetts. Though I do have a few friends in the south west area of Florida so I figured any leads would be helpful.
