Press release: NWCCD relaunches weekend welding program, spots available

NWCCD relaunches weekend welding program, spots available

This past March, Northern Wyoming Community College District launched a new welding certificate designed for working adults. The Weekend Welding Certificate, available at Sheridan College and Gillette College, is intended to be completed in one year, and courses are held on Fridays and Saturdays. After a brief hiatus due the coronavirus crisis, the District is relaunching the program and once again has limited spots available.

Students new to the program will begin with an online summer safety course starting Monday, June 29. In-person courses will resume on both campuses on Friday, July 24 with Thermal Cutting and Oxyfuel Welding.

"This is a great opportunity for working adults, whether you already work in a technical field and want to add welding to your skillset or are ready for a completely new career," said Dr. Estella Castillo-Garrison, vice president for academic affairs. "With this certificate, you can increase your earning potential significantly."

The Weekend Welding Certificate prepares students for entry-level work in welding and follows the same 32-credit curriculum as the traditional Welding Certificate already offered by the District. 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. Students will also gain important knowledge and skills necessary to prepare them for welding qualification. The certificate transitions seamlessly to the Associate of Applied Science degree program without loss of credit or time.

"This offering gives working adults an opportunity to advance their careers with a skill that is in high demand in our region with a schedule that works for them," said NWCCD President Dr. Walter Tribley. "We are thrilled to be able to resume this hands-on program on our campuses."

The Weekend Welding Certificate is part of Wyoming Works, an initiative launched by the Legislature last year to increase the number of adults with a college degree or certificate. Wyoming Works makes grant dollars available to adult students to help offset the cost of going back to school. Students in the Weekend Welding Certificate program may also qualify for other scholarships, and on-campus housing is available to interested students.

The Women Build is an opportunity for women to proactively engage and make a tangible impact in Sheridan County. This year's Women Build will take place August 4th through August 8th!

Since 1991, Habitat for Humanity has hosted an annual Women Build. Women Build opportunities are available across the United States. These builds bring women in the community together to promote the involvement of women in the construction industry while helping Habitat partner families get one step closer to homeownership. The Women Build works to recruit, nurture, and train women in construction. This is an opportunity for women to proactively engage, and make a tangible impact in Sheridan County. In a collaborative and friendly atmosphere this build sends the positive and powerful message of, "women helping women." Over 50 women locally will join together with 17,000 women nationally to proactively engage in creating a tangible impact in their home communities.

Registration
Anyone (16+) is invited to participate, no previous construction experience or knowledge is required. Volunteers will work along side a professional construction supervisor, and Habitat partner families. Are you ready to build with us?
Participants are encouraged to raise $100 ($500 per team), however, any donation is welcome. All proceeds directly benefit Habitat programs in Sheridan, Wyoming. Funds are due by the end of the build day, August 8th!
Spots are limited. We invite 10 teams or 50 individuals to join us on the job site from August 4th to August 8th . Teams can be NO larger than 5 people. Due to COVID-19 and social distancing practices we have decided to limit volunteer groups to 5 volunteers at a time. Thus, one women build group will build in the morning, and the other in the afternoon (see below for the full list of COVID-19 safety precautions*).
When registering please select what day you/your team would like to build, and whether you/your team would like to build in the morning or afternoon. Visit sheridanhabitat.org for more information, or to check out last year’s event success. We are here to assist with any questions you may have! Please download the informational packets for both teams and individuals for fundraising tips and ideas.

Together WE Build!
