Bridging the Gap between Military and Civilian Jobs
By Cindy McCombe, director of marketing, Workshops for Warriors Reprinted with permission: The AWS Welding Journal On a Monday morning in San Diego, Calif., Lyle Palm, 56, dean of welding at Workshops for Warriors, wakes up at the crack of dawn to begin his day. For the first part of his day, he is a welding instructor at Marine System Corp. at Camp Pendleton, but by mid-afternoon, Palm is shifting gears and is preparing for his evening courses at Workshops for Warriors, a nonprofit that trains, certifies, and places veterans and wounded warriors into advanced manufacturing careers. By the time Palm returns home, he will have driven 115 miles, something he does five days a week. It is his dedication to the welding profession that keeps him going.- Shielded Metal Arc Welding
