Jonesboro, LA – Louisiana Delta Community College (LDCC) is pleased to announce an interest meeting for its Welding and Industrial Maintenance programs to be held at LDCC Jonesboro. This event, scheduled for July 23rd, will provide valuable information about the training opportunities available and the growing demand for skilled workers in these fields.
Locally, northeast Louisiana hosts numerous manufacturing and industrial plants, creating a significant demand for skilled tradespeople in areas such as welding and industrial maintenance. Nationally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics echoes the growing need for workers in these industries, projecting 42,600 welding jobs to open each year and an impressive 13% increase in industrial maintenance positions over the next decade.
These fields offer competitive wages and stable employment prospects, making them attractive career options for residents of Jonesboro and surrounding areas. LDCC is uniquely positioned to help meet this demand through its partnerships with local industry leaders. “At Louisiana Delta Community College, we recognize the critical role that skilled trades play in supporting our local industries. Our Welding and Industrial Maintenance programs are designed to equip students with the hands-on experience and technical expertise that employers are looking for,” LDCC Ruston Campus Director Patience Talley explains. Collaborations with industry partners ensure that LDCC training programs are aligned with the specific needs of employers, providing students with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in the workforce.
We invite all interested community members to join us at the Jonesboro campus on July 23rd at 11:00 A.M. or 4:00 P.M. to learn more about LDCC Jonesboro program offerings.
