- Certificate - Welder Helper (1596)
New certificate for welder helper
An opportunity was identified whereby beginning next fall we may have the opportunity to attract a bus load of 50 students coming to McNair 4 days a week teaching these students the trades pipe fitting and welding and possibly even mill rights. The school districts have been going to San Jac, and their students have been availing themselves a welding certificate at the end of their term. Our certificate was way too many hours to fit with the schedule that we were looking at. We have a lower level certificate in the pipe fitting program, pipe fitter helper certificate, and it seemed like a no brainer to have a parallel certificate in Welding. It can be attained in one academic year.
Paul Arrigo made motion to approve; Stewart Edwards seconded.
Motion passes unanimously.
