High School Welding Program Revival

Help me give my students trying to revive a welding program to teach kids a needed hands on trade. PPE is the most important part of safety and learning.

My Project

Trying to obtain PPE to get a better safety program with updated equipment for the safety of the kids.

The safety of the students is of the upmost importance for their safety and learning.

Without the safety there cannot be a level of learning that these students need. This is the starting point of this program.

I am doing this program on a part time basis. I have a full time job running an automotive repair business. I was approached by the school as a possibility to revive a welding and automotive program for the students. Most if not all equipment is old and outdated. PPE is the first and foremost the most important thing we can do for the students.

Thank you for this great possibility.
