The program also builds long-term relationships with local education leaders and Airgas welding and safety experts.
Key Points:
- The program also builds long-term relationships with local education leaders and Airgas welding and safety experts.
- With many high schools and junior colleges under-resourced throughout the United States, it is difficult to close the gap.
- Over the past three years, Airgas has built on the success of a pilot program in Philadelphia and expanded the Airgas High School Welding Education Initiative to add additional underserved schools to the program.
- In 2020, 65 Airgas associates from 10 regions provided socially distant support to more than 1,000 welding students, 152 teachers and 29 schools and donated welding machines, consumables and PPE.
