NEW WELDING MACHINES AT BROADMOOR HS
NEW WELDING MACHINES AT BROADMOOR HS
Exciting things are happening in Broadmoor High School’s welding program! The new welding machines are fully assembled, and the virtual reality (VR) equipment is now set up in the classroom, offering students an enhanced, hands-on learning experience. While there’s still more to come—including summer installations of extractors and additional machines—the momentum is strong. The upcoming school year promises even greater opportunities for students, with plans to offer significantly more Industry-Based Certifications (IBCs). The future of welding at Broadmoor is bright!
