Offering structural welding intensive courses with resources for job recruitment in South Portland, Maine, they aim to reshape the culture and demographics of New England’s blue collar industry by guiding well trained tradespeople into employment where they can find career success and become healthy and happy human beings. Their staff includes recent Jewelry Making & Repair graduate Audrey Gourlie JM ’23.
