BELLINGHAM, Wash. –
Bellingham Technical College’s Welding Fab Week is underway this week.
BTC Director of Communications Marni Saling Mayer says BTC’s Morse Center will be displaying student garden art work projects using materials donated by local industry.
An auction of the artwork by local students next week will benefit the program’s scholarship fund.
Saling Mayer says Welding Fab Week highlights the strength of the BTC programs helping launch local students into living wage careers with a 79% placement rate.
She says the demand for welders will continue to increase as more baby boomers holding those positions retire.
The Bellingham Welding Fab week display and auction wraps up next Friday, March 23rd.
