APPLICATIONS STILL BEING ACCEPTED FOR PRAXAIR SKILLS PIPELINE WELDING PROGRAM THROUGH FRIDAY, JUNE 17th.
 
Praxair is collaborating with Baton Rouge Community College New Roads to offer a unique opportunity for students to spark a new career in welding!  The Praxair Skills Pipeline program provides funding to train 25 new welders in an accelerated one-year curriculum.  Praxair is proud to offer the second year of this community engagement program, which was developed to meet the strong demand for skilled welders and is an example of the company's continued commitment to developing a robust pipeline of men and women in the skilled trades.
 
Interested applicants will fill out an application and register for a testing session, which includes a basic test of English and Math as well as a confidential drug test.  The courses will be offered in the evening and on Saturdays at the BRCC New Roads location at 605 Hospital Road, New Roads, LA  70760.  Selected students will have to commit to an accelerated, yearlong program.
