There is good news for students who are interested in learning more about Welding, Computer-Aided Drafting, Precision Machining, and Transportation Technology - Light and Heavy Duty. Western Dakota Tech is hosting an activity-rich Transportation and Manufacturing Camp featuring the college programs, on campus, Tuesday, Nov. 7. Sessions will run from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and a free lunch will be provided. This event is an excellent way for students to learn more about these careers and choose the right one for them. One of the most popular booths at the recent Western Dakota Tech Career Expo provided high school students the opportunity to use a welding torch. Noting the activity was "cool" and "fun", some students - both young men and women - said they might consider a career in welding after trying it for the first time.

There is high demand for workers in the transportation and manufacturing industries. Between 2014 and 2024 diesel technician positions are expected to grow by 12 percent (higher than the national average for jobs), machinists by 6 percent, and welders by 4 percent. Good pay is available in these positions. Ongoing technological changes and the element of active work make careers in transportation and manufacturing personally rewarding and challenging.
