These Boot Camps are entry level welding courses with onsite welding practice and supervision at Apache. The Boot Camps are part of the manufacturing skills academies funded by the Wisconsin Covenant Foundation and the Department of Labor TAA CCCT Grant. The program helps to build a skilled welder pool for area manufacturers, including Apache. During the program, students are required to complete eight hours per week of welding practice which is conducted at Apache under supervision of Apache's welding mentors and floor supervisor as well as the instructor. Apache was proud to host several students last month in the Boot Camp Welding Program. The onsite handson welding at Apache helps the students experience a real manufacturing environment with access to different types of equipment, different shapes and thicknesses of stainless steel and TIG welding processes. A large part of the tuition is funded by the grant, with a small investment from the student. The student investment is refunded if they are selected for an internship. Founded in 1975, Apache Stainless Equipment Corporation consists of five groups: Large Tanks, Portable Vessels, Contract Manufacturing, Carbon Steel and Mepaco. The Mepaco group manufactures food processing equipment. Apache is an employeeowned company and a subsidiary of Dexter Apache Holdings, Inc.
