Victor Technologies is hosting its 2012 “Innovation to Shape the World” contest for students in welding and cutting programs at secondary and post-secondary schools. Three beginning (first or second year) students will win $250 by submitting a 500-word essay supporting the contest theme, while members on three intermediate/advanced teams will each win $500 for completing a welding and cutting project.
“The six schools associated with the winners will receive a comprehensive cutting, welding and gas control package valued at $4,000,” added Martin Quinn, CEO of Victor Technologies.
Each school an individual beginner student winner or winning team in the intermediate/advanced category is attending at the time of entry will receive a prize package including a Victor Journeyman welding and cutting outfit, a Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 42 Air plasma cutting outfit, a Fabricator 211i 3-in-1 Stick-MIG-TIG welding machine kit and two Tweco Weldskill 4-sensor auto-darkening welding helmets.
