This was an awesome class. We’re looking forward to doing it again next year.

Thank you to all the instructors that participated!

ATTENTION WELDING INSTRUCTORS

We will be offering an opportunity for welding instructors to meet with industry and post-secondary professionals to get a refresher/crash course on the welding processes required for competitors at this year’s competition. This will be a 3-hour event hosted by Rochester Community and Technical College - RCTC Electric Crenlo Engineered Cabs McNeilus Steel, Inc.
