Get ready to weld.
The second annual Welding Competition for local students is set to start at 9 a.m. May 17 at the John T. Blong Technology Center, at 8500 Hillandale Road, Davenport.
The event is being presented by Eastern Iowa Community Colleges.
At last year’s first competition, about 52 area high school and community college students had the chance to show their welding skills, win prizes and meet potential employers during the event held at the technology center.
The main goals of the event were to showcase the local students’ abilities, and help them make a connection with area businesses, said Matt Schmit, EICC’s dean of Operations and Applied Programs.
Pre-registration is encouraged. There is limited space.
Family members and teachers are encouraged to come and witness the event. EICC will have the campus open to tour other great trade programs and interact with businesses in our community as well.
