Students enrolled in the welding program at Fannin County High School in Blue Ridge, Georgia, celebrate Lincoln Electric’s generous donation of a multi-process welding machine.
Southeast Area recruiter Lee Aurand-Hosey and a Lincoln Electric representative worked together to secure a significant donation for the welding program at Fannin County High School in Blue Ridge, Georgia. After Aurand-Hosey brought the issue to the attention of Lincoln Electric, the company donated a state-of-the-art, multi-process welding machine to the high school’s welding program.
This donation will improve the school’s welding curriculum, giving students access to advanced technology that will enhance their practical skills. The TIG or Tungsten Inert Gas machine allows students to perform precision welding, expanding their career opportunities.
Aurand-Hosey said the contribution from Lincoln Electric is more than just a machine; it’s a commitment to the future of skilled trades. The equipment will ensure students are prepared with the knowledge and tools they need for success in the welding industry.
FCHS welding instructor Terry Flowers said this donation will improve the program. “We're incredibly excited and grateful for this donation,” said Flowers. “The TIG machine gives our students valuable hands-on experience with advanced welding techniques that are in high demand. It’s a game-changer for our program.”
