WTEC President Ron Troxell presented Lesa Ward of Kalamazoo Valley Community College (KVCC) a certificate of appreciation for her assistance in making this anniversary a reality.
The Welding Technology Education Center (WTEC) in Marcellus, Michigan celebrated its first anniversary.
In 2008, Fab Masters Company had difficulty in finding skilled welders to fill positions in his newly expanded welding shop. Fab Masters owner Ron Troxell decided to start his own training program to provide workers with the skills needed for industry-level employment affordably, quickly, and with American Welding Society certification.
Lesa Wards’ help was instrumental in WTEC becoming a proprietary school (private career school). Her collaborative efforts in the promotion of WTEC are appreciated.
WTEC’s first year boasts a 99% success rate in student certifications. In addition, WTEC is helping displaced and unemployed workers attain a higher skill level for re-entering the job market. Many graduates are reporting new careers because of their training and certification at WTEC.
Many students have received funding from Michigan Works’ “No Worker Left Behind” program.
About WTEC
The Welding Technology Education Center (WTEC) was born from industry need to fulfill industry need. WTEC is an American Welding Society Educational Institution member located at Fab Masters Company, Inc. in Marcellus, Michigan. Due to experiencing firsthand the shortage of skilled welders, Fab Masters President & CEO Ron Troxell decided to start his own welding training program. As a result, WTEC courses are designed with employers’ requirements in mind. Instructors then teach the theory and facilitate the hands-on lab practice needed for students to become capable of producing high-quality welds. Consequently, WTEC is confident our graduates gain the welding skills needed to enter production or industry-level positions.
WTEC partners with Michigan Works to provide training to unemployed and displaced workers.
