TECHNICAL TRAINING REPORT

Welcome the first edition of our Technical Training Report, a monthly e-newsletter that we hope you’ll find useful.

 

Each issue will be chock-full of industry trends, tips / tutorials for using different types of equipment and technologies, and a wide range of project ideas for the classroom.

 

This month we’re looking at how augmented reality is changing welding training, combatting misconceptions about trades and manufacturing careers, and walking you through a customizable classroom project using CNC equipment.

 

If you’re looking for any other advice, let us know. We want to give you the information you find most helpful – any and all feedback is welcome!

 

If at any time you wish to unsubscribe, please use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of this (and every) issue.

 

Cheers,
