If you鈥檝e ever wanted to learn how to weld, now is your chance thanks to SWAG合集鈥檚 spring stick welding class, which will be offered from 6-9 p.m. Monday and Wednesday nights from March 6 through May 11 in the welding lab in the Technical Building.
Executive Director of Workforce Training and Economic Development Mary Foley said the class is designed to give students the skills to weld for personal applications and gain skills that could help them land a job.
鈥淭his is a great skill to learn for hobbyists wanting to build their toolkit for various repairs and projects, but it can also be a springboard to a career in welding,鈥 she said. 鈥淐lasses like this one are a great way for people to try out welding to see if it鈥檚 something they might want to do professionally, and it also counts for three hours of college credit.鈥
