Notes
Pennsylvania does not require a statewide individual ironworker license. The Pennsylvania Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs licenses many trades but does not issue individual ironworker licenses statewide. Some municipalities such as Philadelphia may have local requirements. Workers typically train through union apprenticeships with local Ironworkers unions.
