Our Women in Welding Events exists to encourage women to explore careers in welding. Historically, there has been a gender imbalance in the field, with women making up only about 5-7% of the workforce. While our events are geared towards women, individuals who identify as women, and those who prefer to experience the field in a female-oriented environment, we welcome all participants.
Please ensure your email and phone number are correct in your Olympic College account profile.
Staff will contact participants in the days leading up to the event, given the extensive waitlists associated with these classes.
