Another career training program will soon be available for Nassau County’s students – welding technology.
Nassau recently received $506,500 in funding through the Workforce Development Capitalization Incentive Grant. This will provide comprehensive welding technology curriculum that equips students with the knowledge, skills, and hands-on experience needed to thrive in today’s competitive job market.
State-of-the-art welding labs, equipped with the latest tools and equipment, will provide students with a learning environment where they learn various welding techniques and technologies.
