Adults who want to learn to weld or enhance their skills can
take advantage of opportunities offered through the Starke County Initiative
for Lifelong Learning. Classes offered through the SCILL Center’s Adult Welding
Technology program meet two evenings per week for four hours at a time for 12
weeks.
Instructors are AWS certified and bring a great deal of
hands-on knowledge to the classroom and lab setting. Students learn about
blueprint reading/symbols, welding measurements, safety, MIG/TIG/Stick welding,
aluminum welding, stainless welding, rolled pipe welding, oxy acetylene
welding, brazing, plasma cutting and oxy fuel burning. They also have an
opportunity to visit job fairs, tour area plants and meet with employers who
are in need of trained welders. The cost for the class is $2,000 and includes
all necessary materials. Eligible participants who apply through WorkOne may
have some or all of the fees paid.
Interested applicants can contact WorkOne, SCILL or complete
the application posted online at www.scill.biz.
