Fort Campbell’s Welding Class 16 begins foundations for new careers

For the eight members of Welding Class 16 at Fort Campbell, the start of class is an incredible opportunity — the chance to learn to weld and build basic skill sets to begin a career in the pipe trades.

The students are part of the United Association Veterans in Piping (UA VIP) program that is designed to help transitioning active-duty service members transition to a rewarding civilian career.

During their last few months of military service, UA VIP participants learn from an experienced journeyman through a combination of classroom instruction and welding lab training.

 

Guaranteed high pay, great benefits, from the beginning

United Association Veterans in Piping participants earn industry-recognized certifications and gain direct entry into solid private-sector jobs with good pay and benefits. They learn specialty training that gives them a leg up on their peers.

Upon graduation, UA VIP participants are placed with a UA Local Union at an agreed upon location. There are hundreds of possibilities throughout the country. They enter a UA apprenticeship program with guaranteed job placement, earning good pay, quality healthcare and 401K benefits.

They begin a high paying career in an industry where job demand is high.
