February 17, 2022 – Tennessee College of Applied Technology; Pulaski, TN
Prior to the meeting, the Pulaski Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) facility supplied a great dinner of pizza and cookies. Once everyone was fed and comfortable, the Nashville Section Student night meeting got underway. The meeting began with drawings for door prizes, including welding hoods provided by the AWS Foundation, and hats supplied by our TCAT hosts. The theme for the meeting was “Careers in Welding”. We were fortunate to have a wide variety of people willing to present, some in person and some through the Zoom platform. Welding supply chain, inspection, education, quality, and the opportunities available were all discussed during the night. Including the fact that there will be an estimated 314,000 welding related job openings in 2024, The students seem very interested and had good comments and questions.
