The Northern Wyoming Community College District is offering another opportunity to earn a welding certificate designed to accommodate working adults. According to a media release from the College District, the weekend welding certificate program will begin July 23 and will be offered at Gillette College and Sheridan College. Students will be able to complete the program in one year and classes will take place on Fridays and Saturdays. Students in the program may qualify for financial aid and scholarships, and on-campus housing is available to interested students.

The weekend welding certificate is aimed at preparing students for entry-level work in welding and follows the same 30-credit curriculum as the traditional welding certificate. In addition to gaining an overall understanding of welding machines, processes, and hands-on proficiency, students will develop skills in the areas of print reading, welding symbols, welding inspection and destructive and non-destructive testing. In addition, they will gain important knowledge and skills necessary to prepare them for welding qualification.

The College District will provide two free information sessions about the certificate program, with the first being at Gillege College on Wednesday, June 9, at 6 pm in the Technical Education Center and the second will take place at Sheridan College on Wednesday, June 16 at 6 pm in the Technical Center. Attendees will learn how to apply, schedule details, advising and financial aid resources, housing options and job outcomes. To apply and for more information, visit www.sheridan.edu.
