🔥 Learning goes beyond the shop! 🔥

We were excited to welcome Shawn Bernard of Bernard’s Inspection Services to speak with our welding students about life experiences, work ethic, and - most significantly - the importance of being a good human.

Shawn shared valuable lessons from his own journey, and our students were all ears!

A huge thank you to Shawn for taking the time to invest in our students and share wisdom that reaches far beyond the welding booth. Our students loved his talk!

Great skills build careers. Great character builds lives.
