Northwoods high school students compete in Nicolet College welding competition
While the annual event at Nicolet gave students the chance to sharpen and show off their welding skills, it also did much more than that, said Craig Deer, Nicolet Welding instructor.
"It gave them the added opportunity to explore welding as a possible career and by having the event at Nicolet, they also got a taste of what a college campus is like," he said. "For many of these students, this was the first time they've had the opportunity to visit Nicolet."
Qualifying rounds, attended by 66 students representing each of the 11 high schools in the Nicolet District, were held in March.
In the finals, Dalton Bellamy from Laona took first place, Josh Chitko, also from Laona, second, and Matt Weber, Mercer, third.
