A local college is inviting women to a workshop to explore careers in non-traditional fields.
Clark College would like interested young women to get their hands dirty and explore the opportunities that are available for careers in mechanical and advanced manufacturing fields. Professors from the college will lead hands-on activities in labs that are industry-standard. Getting to tinker with the equipment is a good way for a student to decide if she would like to pursue a career in welding, diesel, or automotive.
Clark College students who graduate in the automotive field are in demand by dealerships and rise quickly in the field. The National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) has certified the college, which has been training people in the automotive field for over 40 years.
The college’s diesel technology program teaches students to identify, troubleshoot, and fix real problems on real equipment.
Budding welders will use updated equipment found in the real world, and students will learn to analyze parts, read Blueprints, and properly fit, weld, and inspect work on materials like aluminum, stainless steel, steel, and titanium.
Anyone attending the event is asked to wear long pants (jeans are best) and closed-toe shoes; it is also recommended they wear long-sleeved shirts. Required safety equipment will be provided.
The event is set for September 9, from 6.00 pm until 9.15 pm, at the main campus of Clark College on Fort Vancouver Way. Organizers of events like this can use flyer printing to create instruction sheets for students.
