Carl Sandburg College’s Corporate & Leisure College is providing an opportunity for welders to sharpen their tools and for others to spark their interest in the trade.

The College will host a pair of welding classes from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. May 15 and 22 at Sandburg’s Center for Manufacturing Excellence, 2051 Tom L. Wilson Blvd., Galesburg, allowing individuals interested in welding to learn basic skills. It also will provide those with prior welding experience to review processes such as shielded metal arc welding; gas metal arc welding; gas tungsten arc welding; oxyacetylene cutting and welding; and inner and dual shield flux core welding.

Both eight-hour sessions will be led by Rich Bloomgren, a Sandburg alumnus with more than a decade of welding experience. The total cost of the sessions is $175 (personal safety equipment not included).
