Need to hire welders now or in the near future? Are you seeking employees who enjoy welding or do you want to train future welders for free?
Join MACC/DC at a meet and greet opportunity at Delaware County Community College’s Advanced Technology Center. Meet soon-to-be graduates of a 225-hour hands-on Welding Certificate Program that prepares students for entry-level welding positions.
Students are expected to earn their certificates in August 2026. Join us to learn about the program, the students, and educators. Perhaps you’ll meet a future employee!
AGENDA
