On March 17, five of Delta’s welding students traveled to Washtenaw Community College to compete in the SkillsUSA welding competition for a chance to receive an award at the State Leadership Conference.
“The students representing Delta College during the competition have shown exemplary skills in welding, leadership in the classroom, and the diligence needed to excel in the workforce,” said Keith Proctor, Welding Professor at Delta College. “All of their instructors are proud to have them represent Delta College at such an event.”
Katelyn McArdle, Casey Boensch, Russell Fischer, Gage Miller, and Lliam Francis were the students who competed in three different process categories for a chance to receive an award.
“The competition consisted of submitting a professional resume,” Proctor said. “Completing a 50-question technical knowledge exam, and fabricating/ welding an assembly according to supplied blueprints.”
Stay tuned as the results of the competition will be announced at the conference on April 16 at the DeVos Place in Grand Rapids.
