April 2010– As a dislocated worker, I went through Minnesota Workforce Center & Rural Minnesota CEP, Inc.which helped me with my tuition to attend Lynnes Welding Training, Inc.

With having no welding background at all and attending Lynnes Welding Training, Inc., I participated in the “Behind the Mask” Welding Contest at Alexandria Technical College, sponsored by the American Welding Society (AWS) and placed 1st out of 81 total participants in the stick welding.

With just 12 weeks of training, Lynnes Welding Training, Inc., also assisted me in obtaining a job in western North Dakota, paying $23.00 an hour. In no other school will you have the opportunity to practice as much as we do.

You don’t learn how to weld by reading books. You learn by being behind the hood and laying wire. Great school, great staff and great opportunities.
