Isn’t it time you started getting involved? That’s what these students thought!<\/p>\n

I met them recently at one of our local AWS (American Welding Society) section meetings. \u00a0Daren Hitchman and Fred Paregoy (3rd from left in top and bottom rows) are the member recruiter and publicity chairman of their AWS student chapter, respectively.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I spent some time talking with them and I couldn\u2019t help but take a picture of their workbooks.\u00a0Unfortunatly, I did not capture the notes and diagrams on the inside; they were very detailed and technical — I was impressed with the level of training that these new students go throught to get certified.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Though they both are currently going to welding school at ECC in San Diego, they make the time to get involved in the local welding community by coming to events like this one.<\/p>\n

Through attending meetings and events sponsored by local welding supply companies, professional organizations etc., these students are getting a better idea of the jobs that are available to them once they leave school.<\/p>\n

Who knows? They might even meet a future boss, or learn about an opportunity to open their own shop just by hanging around and learning about the latest welding equipment!<\/p>\n

Find a chapter of AWS near you and get involved!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
