“ IAI taught me the importance of punctuality, asking questions, and aiming for perfection. IAI set me up for success in my career as a millwright! Over the past five years, I have worked on overhead conveyors in car plants, built a steam turbine from the ground up, and helped build new EV battery plants. I recently celebrated my first anniversary of becoming a journeyman millwright for Local 1102. I’ve also traveled to many different places to install or repair machinery. ”

“The IAI students that we have hired up to this point have met or exceeded our expectations. Our field superintendents have high standards, especially for new hires, and the IAI students have done an excellent job of representing the skill sets you and your team are teaching. When I mentioned that I had a new group of potential employees from this IAI Cohort, it was well received —which is not an easy task —and that is a direct reflection of your program.”

“My Son Graduated from Industrial Arts Institute Cohort 24 on Dec 13th & Started his first Job in his Welding & Fabrication career. Exactly 1 month to the day on Jan 13th !!! We Couldn’t be happier for him and for the knowledge and hands-on training he received in his 19 weeks at IAI.

Very professional, intense, hands-on, real-life experience & training!!! We would recommend IAI to anyone looking for Welding training!!”
