CCRI is launching a new 14-week Welding Training Program in partnership with Senesco Marine, LLC and Polaris MEP, providing hands-on training for in-demand careers in manufacturing, fabrication, construction, and shipbuilding! Students will train using industry-standard equipment, earn an OSHA 10 General Industry credential, and gain the skills employers are looking for. Best of all, the program is FREE for those who qualify.

Enrollment is now open for the inaugural cohort beginning September 14th!

Senator Dawn Euer and Representative Cherie Cruz, in partnership with the Rhode Island Public Defender’s Office, are hosting a FREE Expungement Clinic at our Newport Campus! 🤝

TOMORROW, August 5th, from 5 – 8 PM, get direct assistance from attorneys and trained volunteers to learn about the expungement process and determine whether you may be eligible to clear a criminal record. Expungement can help reduce barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities.

Registration is encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome!
