Looking for the right place to do what I love the most about this trade and thats teaching it. Ive been a welder for over 30 yrs with a wide variety of experience. I started in the Navy as an HT and have worked
in fab shops, construction, shut downs, refineries, sub stations etc.. Ive taught for 12 yrs in the CA Prison
system and teaching is my passion. I take pride in knowing my ****, but its like Ive always stressed to my students, "Welding", the more ya know, the more ya know ya don't know. So if anybody can point me to a good home where I can keep learning and know what it takes to train welders, let me know. Thanks
I do know of a great place to work, Autry technology center in Enid Oklahoma is looking for a guy to teach a youth offender program, and it is all the instructors program, I started the program in 2006 and has been a real success, but I have moved to the main campus and these guys need some help!The number is (580) 242-2750
What are your credentials and certifications? Do you have a Professional Certificate awarded through a specific State or Commonwealth?
