CO-ED BOOTCAMPS
We are partnering with a couple community centers to offer scholarships for our two week co-ed bootcamp, which is designed as an introductory course for all Adult (18+ ages) job seekers who want to kick start their careers.
Students will learn welding theory while getting applied training in preparation for their GMAW / MIG certification test. After students take the certification tests they will have the opportunity to get a quick introduction to GTAW/ TIG and SMAW/Stick welding. By obtaining the 2F GMAW certification this will help them get their foot in the door with local employers who we are seeking new talent!
