Apprenticeship....
The Montana State JATC is entering into the apprentices 3rd week of classes; except for the 1st year apprentices who will be starting their 2nd week of classes.
The JATC is pleased to announce the hiring of Welding Instructor Stephen Klippenes. Steve will be a great asset to the organization and will definitely move the program forward. Welding classes will be held on Fridays and anyone wanting to attend should contact the JATC for sign up.
The JATC attended the FFA's State Convention as part of National Apprenticeship week. It was a great opportunity to meet with 120 young men and women to talk about the advantage's apprenticeship has to offer young rural individuals. We will also be giving a presentation to Helena High School Welding Classes in February to encourage students to become apprentices. Two of our first-year appentices came out of this welding program.
Congratulations....
Congratulations to Shawn Lawson on recently turning out. We wish you the Best of Luck in your Journeyman Detailing career!
