Industrial gas provider Praxair Inc., Danbury, Conn., a wholly owned subsidiary of Linde plc, has announced it will expand its Skills Pipeline™ workforce development program in collaboration with Brazosport College in Lake Jackson, Texas. The program, which starts in January 2019, will offer training for 50 students to become welders.
Launched in 2014, the Skills Pipeline program has provided more than $1.5 million in scholarships through funds from Praxair’s Global Giving Program.

Additionally, the Skills Pipeline program includes career-readiness content from Praxair, funding for instructorships, and professional development.
