It's time to weld! For the last two weeks of the program, our students are getting a crash course in stick welding.

Graduates of our program have loved the welding tutorial so much that they have gone onto further education in welding, including to San Juan College and The University of New Mexico - UNM

It's time to dig! Our construction students are getting their hands dirty learning to operate heavy equipment. AND one of our graduates, who is now a backhoe operator for the Engineering and Construction Authority, stopped by to show us the skills he has been developing the last year and a half and to help us teach the current class.

We think that is freaking awesome. What do you think?

"What would I want to learn if I was a high school senior pre apprentice? What would excite me the most about working in the blue-collar trades?

We ask ourselves these questions all the time when we are discussing our curriculum and projects. DON'T SPEND YOUR TIME AND EFFORT PLANNING THINGS THAT WOULDN'T EVEN EXCITE YOU.
