The Alliance of Wyoming Manufacturers was proud to once again sponsor a welding scholarship to an outstanding high school welder in the 5th annual Steel Day / MFG DAY welding competition held at AWM member Puma Steel. Approximately 140 welding students from high schools through out the state and region joined in a competition to demonstrate their skills with welding and reading plans for manufacturing a product. Winners were awarded scholarships to any Wyoming Community College with a welding skills curriculum. Approximately 20 students received scholarships and various welding equipment to further their career education.
Thanks to Senator Cynthia Lummis for being there to support the students and reinforce the importance of Career and Technical Education for Wyoming students and Wyoming companies. And Thanks to Rex Lewis, president of Puma Steel for his leadership in growing this event each year.
