金属制造 和 焊接技术 Major Earns First Place in Regional Competition
亚历克斯Cahoone, a Second-Year 金属制造 和 焊接技术 major, was recently named the overall winner of the Project MFG 海军/Maritime Welding Competition. He earned the top score out of 94 competitors from three separate competitions that took place at the Philly Shipyard, the Peninsula 员工发展 Center, 和匹兹堡皇冠体育娱乐场网址.
The competition tested students on the skills required for shipbuilding during a two-hour competition. An overall winner was chosen by scoring each location collectively. Alex competed in the Philly Shipyard competition.
Project MFG partnered with the Pennsylvania Talent Pipeline Project, 弗吉尼亚人才输送项目, U.S. 海军, 和 Department of Defense to host the Project MFG 海军/Maritime Welding Competitions 和 other career exploration events in an effort to raise awareness about well-paying careers in maritime manufacturing, 比如焊接, 加工, 和物流. The collaborative effort brought in 94 competitors 和 drew more than 650 students to the events, 和 provided employers the opportunity to engage with 和 begin recruiting students.
“我相信你是知道的, there is a growing need for welders with your talent,雷·迪克说, MFG项目的创始人. “Your performance demonstrates the dedication 和 effort you have spent to become a highly skilled welder.”
