Welding Competition

Delta Technical College 2025 High School Welding Competition

Start your journey to becoming a welder! The DTC Regional High School Welding Competition is a competition for motivated high school seniors who want to prove that they have what it takes to be a welder.

All participants in the competition will receive a $500 DTC scholarship. Participants will also have the opportunity to enroll in one of DTC’s Welding Programs that provide students hands-on training geared to meet the tough demands of today’s employers.

The objective is for our students to gain entry-level employment across the country in the manufacturing, construction and maintenance fields. The certifications we issue to our graduates maximize employability potential in the welding industry.
