NDT Survey

Several years ago, San Jacinto College and the APIP Network collaborated on a Skills Development Fund grant from the Texas Workforce Commission that provided several million dollars of NDT training. We are currently exploring the idea of a second grant to upgrade skills of incumbent workers, but we need some information from you and your company in order to move forward.
