New Welding Class Set for March 30
Welding is one of the few career choices that is in high demand at all times. Since welders are needed in almost every industry, it gives them the flexibility to switch industries without changing careers. Let’s face the facts; most career choices have ups and downs. Welding on the other hand has endless opportunities that keep fueling the demand.
This new program—March 30, 2015 through June 30, 2015—is designed to develop the skills necessary for performing work in the field of welding and fabrication. Instruction will begin with a strong emphasis on safety and will address the many precautions that need to be taken to insure the safe operations of welding and fabrication equipment, as well as general industrial safety. The tools, applied math, layout, print reading, and measuring are explained as well as hands on fabrication. Processes covered are sawing, shearing, and punching of structural steel. Next, instruction will be provided in SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), FCAW (Flux Cored Arc
Welding), GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) and thermal cutting techniques. Eligible students may elect to test under AWS QC 10 certification guidelines in the 3G and 4G positions pertaining to the AWS D1.1 Structural Code. Also covered will be Oxy Acetylene Cutting and Welding, Plasma Arc Cutting and Carbon Arc Cutting. This training serves as a progressive introduction to the technical skills and practices to prepare students for employment as flame cutters, structural welders, tack welders, welder assemblers, welder helpers, arc cutters and production line welders.

Tri-Rivers PN Program Ranks #9 out of 70 Schools in Ohio
Tri-Rivers School of Practical Nursing program has been ranked 9th out of the 70 state schools in the survey by PracticalNursing.org
“The number nine ranking speaks to our faculty members’ dedication and devotion to student success,” said Emeline Kelly, Nurse Education Programs Manager and Administrator for Tri-Rivers Adult Nursing Programs. “The faculty members in the Practical Nursing program work really hard to help students be successful in both the classrooms and clinical settings. They want to help students reach their goals and fulfill their dreams.”
According to its website, PracticalNursing.org uses a ranking methodology by “retrieving NCLEX-PN pass rates from all LPN and LVN programs state by state.” Tri-Rivers had a 96.82% percent pass rate on the NCLEX-PN (National Council Licensure Examination-Practical Nurse). All US state and territorial boards of nursing require a passing result on the exam for licensure as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or licensed vocational nurse (LVN).
Kelly said, “We pride ourselves on working with students as individuals. Meeting their needs as a whole person. We are there for our students to provide not only skills training but guidance in every aspect of their career journey.”
Tri-Rivers PN instructors work closely with area healthcare providers to build relationships that benefit students once they graduate—from developing clinical sites to job placement, according to Kelly.
