HOUSTON, Texas – KBR is creating a program to train active duty military in the pipefitting trade to assist service members who desire to pursue an industrial civilian career following their military service. The initiative is in partnership with Central Louisiana Technical Community College and Fort Polk, located in Vernon Parish, Louisiana.
The Veteran Pipefitting Training Program was created for active duty military at Fort Polk and applicants will be selected for the 16-week program by Fort Polk’s Soldier for Life Transition Assistance Program and KBR. Trainees will receive training credentials for both academic and hands-on practice by the National Center for Construction Education and Research upon the successful completion of the course.
KBR is making a significant investment in CLTCC’s facilities for this training program, as well as covering fees associated with the instructors who will be key contributors to the overall success of this program.
KBR has a long history of working alongside of the U.S. military and to continue that tradition with helping veterans transition from military service to successful civilian careers.
