Laird is currrently enrolled in the college’s Welding Technology program and he is working toward an Associate’s Degree.

Laird’s welding technical training complies with American Welding Society standards and is designed to increase his understanding of welding and the related science, meets employers’ expectations, and help Laird compete in the employment marketplace.

The Welding Technology degrees at WWCC center begin with early morning classwork and then practical experience in welding labs.

Laird said of his early class last quarter, “I took Engineering 111 which started with drafting on paper. Then we went on to AutoCAD. I really enjoyed it. I love it at WWCC!”
