This week 8 students are set to graduate from the new 6-week structural welding program from Great Falls College MSU (GFC-MSU).

“So essentially, it’s an introduction to structural steel… it’s supposed to give these students like practical experience moving forward so that they can be employable by the end of it as a welder,” said Missy Pate, an employee development professional with ADF International and an instructor with the class.

In the course, students learn the basics of welding and participate in hands on training while gaining practical experience for the real world.
