“I love welding. The meetings and the shop were a lot of fun and are the reason I want to weld. I am actually currently in a program at Fabtech California pursuing additional certifications and knowledge surrounding welding. I cannot wait until I began working”.
“Welding is exactly what I want to do in the career. More specifically, I want to become a certified welding instructor and run my own shop one day. The chapter has given me a lot of extra time to gain experience in this field.”
“Welding is something very special. Welding gave me a goal and a sense of purpose. I feel as if I now know what I want to do”
