Sparks were flying—literally and figuratively—today in our Dual-Enrollment Welding 1010 Oxyfuel Cutting class! After months of bookwork, our welders-in-training were finally able to put their knowledge to the test, practicing straight cuts and learning how to safely operate oxygen and acetylene tanks.

Dublin High School-Georgia 11th Grader Keymontae Sanders plans to become a professional welder, so today’s hands-on experience was another step toward his future career.

“This week, we’ve been able to begin cutting 1/4-inch metal pieces, and next week we’ll begin bevel cutting,” he shared.

Classmate Justin Craft similarly described the moment as a turning point, adding "It felt good - like I’ve finally accomplished something after months of learning about welding in the classroom.”

Welding is just one of 12 pathways offered through the Dublin City Schools College and Career Academy —our community’s only college and career academy dedicated to shaping Dublin-Laurens County’s future workforce today.
