Ruairi Lujan (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding and (GMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding; Victor Montoya (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding and (GMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding; Gabriel Pacheco (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding 1, heavy Steel Plate; Victor Philips (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding; Isaiah Roybal (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding Open Root and (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding w/ Backing and (GMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding; Marco Salinas (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Heavy Steel Plate and Henry Zoernig (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding and (GMAW) Gas Metal Arc Welding
“I want to congratulate my students, they work hard every day in the classroom,” said Luna Welding Instructor Gene Martinez. “I would like to thank the WIN (Northern New Mexico Workforce Integration Network) grant for funding six of my welding students so they were able to pay for the AWS certification test. A special thanks to Camille Atkinson for her efforts to make this possible.”
