The career and technology school where I work is doing training for recently released convicts under a grant for transition/re-entry training. I get to interact with the instructor quite often as I have employers inquire about how to get the skilled bodies they need to manufacture their product. The instructor tells me most of them work out really well, some become excellent in just the short training course. I’ve been shown some excellent test weld samples by these students. He starts the training with the student doing a MIG weld in the 3G uphill weld position.
That is great to hear. I would like to see opportunities like this become more widely available for those trying to transition. Thanks for your post.
