Global Employment Solutions opens a brand new, weld school on January 3rd. “Our customers were having difficulty finding quality welders,” said Global president Steve Pennington, “so we custom-designed a weld school to meet their needs.”
The construction of this new school should increase the number of skilled welders and help fill much needed welding positions in this region. Companies such as Kubota Industrial Equipment and Kubota Manufacturing of America are first in line, anxious to employ the first group of graduates, as they have reported difficulty finding enough qualified people.
The weld school instructors are well experienced in teaching safety, welding methods and hands-on skills. “Our welding program uses a ‘hands-on’ approach to give our students the skills to work,” says Global welding instructor Jesse Barrett. “The class size is limited to ten students, which allows each student to operate his own welding machine.
The courses are designed to teach the skills of arc welding, including the advanced techniques of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) and Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding. Specific welding instruction can also be tailored to each customer’s needs.
With a majority of welding positions found in manufacturing (6 out of 10 according to the U.S. Department of Labor), the Braselton facility is poised to bring much needed quality welders to the Georgia manufacturing community.
