“The benefits of being a welder, as I tell my students, is that there will always be something that needs welding. And if nothing is broken, someone will always want a barbecue pit,” LC welding instructor and recently certified welding inspector Julio Talamantes said.With years of experience, Talamantes chose to expand his knowledge and earned a prestigious certification from the American Welding Society (AWS).
The Laredo College Board of Trustees praised Talamantes’ dedication to the craft, his profession and his students.
They recognized him for his commitment to enhancing his already extensive understanding of welding.According to the AWS, the Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credential is a mark of distinction in the field, demonstrating a thorough mastery of welding processes and standards.
Now certified, Laredo College’s welding students can be confident that their training comes from a professor who upholds the highest quality standards in the nation and is passionate about teaching the next generation of welders.
