The CTE Team is proud to announce Edison’s Women in Welding Workshop. This workshop consists of 14 young women from our Welding program and local artist, Stacey Mrva. This week, they commenced a cooperative, student-centered project. They will design and build two art installations for the building.
The students will learn about the history of women in manufacturing and the important roles they played during war time in America. Further, they will learn about Ms. Mrva’ s work as a welding artist. Moreover, they will consider women’s growing role in the modern landscape of welding.
Every Monday, they will reconvene and continue the installation project in the welding shop with Ms. Mrva. We hope to empower our young women to take on non-traditional roles and careers. Stay tuned for more photos, and progress reports from this motivated and focused group of young women.
