A six-week Assured Skills Welding Academy commenced this week in Southern Regional College with successful participants preparing to spend 5 weeks in college working towards the City & Guilds Level 2 qualification in MIG Welding.

All applicants who complete the programme are guaranteed an interview at one of the local, participating companies, BM Steel Fabrications, O'Hare Steel, The Exact Group, Alternative Heat Ltd and Dawson Manufacturing & Engineering.

The academy provides an excellent opportunity for those just starting out on their career journey, or for those wishing to retrain or return to the workforce, and it provides a direct pathway to employment.

We wish all participants well as they commence the programme!

This training is supported by the Department for the Economy under the Assured Skills Programme.
