SFI Apprenticeship Program

To help close the skills gap in the local workforce, as experienced fabricators are retiring in large numbers, SFI began working with the Department of Labor and OTC (Ozarks Technical Community College) in 2018 to develop an apprenticeship program that provides comprehensive on-the-job training for men and women that want a career in stainless steel tank fabrication.

• Program teaches essential job skills to be a welder/fabricator master craftsman in the stainless steel tank industry.
• Please mark APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM on your application.
• Individuals meeting the requirements above may start at anytime.  Apply today!
