Praxair Skills Pipeline students graduate from Louisiana colleges
Danbury, Conn.-based Praxair Inc. has announced that nearly 100 welding students are graduating from the company’s inaugural Skills Pipeline program in Louisiana. The company will continue to support the program in 2016 through the Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS).
Skills Pipeline, funded by Praxair’s Global Giving Program, provided more than $300,000 to train about 100 new welders in an accelerated one-year curriculum through Baton Rouge Community College, Delgado Community College, and SOWELA Technical Community College. The scholarships provided students access to an accelerated AWS Level 1 SENSE curriculum, as well as career-readiness content from Praxair.
With the newly announced second phase in Louisiana, Praxair will have provided more than $500,000 to create a pipeline of welders in the state. The company will be expanding the program to other areas across the country next year.
