BALDWIN, WI – Students in the Baldwin-Woodville (B-W) Technical Education Program now have the opportunity to sharpen their welding skills thanks to a generous donation from OEM Fabricators, Inc, head quartered in Woodville, Wisconsin.
The company recently provided two state-of-the-art welding machines to Baldwin-Woodville High School, in partnership with Principal J.R. Dachel and instructor Emily Fransway, to enhance hands-on learning for aspiring welders.
“We are thrilled to have these new welding machines in our lab,” says Fransway, who oversees the school’s welding curriculum. “The donation frees up funds to invest in other vital equipment. This ultimately broadens our hands-on offerings and better prepares our students for high-demand careers in skilled trades.”
