Fleming College’s skilled trades students will be on display during the annual Welding Showcase on Tuesday afternoon.
This event celebrates Fleming’s renowned welding programs: Welding Techniques and Welding and Fabrication Technician. Roughly 100 students graduate from these two programs annually.
The Showcase features their capstone projects and demonstrates the skills and techniques students have learned at Fleming.
Welding Techniques is an entry-level two-semester welder program. The Welding and Fabrication Technician program offers extra training in various subjects, including math, layout and fitting, stainless and aluminum welding, and metallurgy.
Welding industry experts, business owners, union representatives and sales and safety representatives will visit students, inspect their projects and discuss their career aspirations.
This is also an opportunity for students to get guidance on future job prospects. Local high school students are also invited to attend to see what Fleming’s program offers and learn more about the welding trade.
The Showcase begins at 1 p.m. in the Kawartha Trades and Technology Centre at Fleming’s Sutherland Campus.
