California Welding Institute was honored to participate in the Annual Inland Empire Women in Manufacturing Conference and Job Fair. This exciting event brings together women from across the region to explore career opportunities in manufacturing — a sector that continues to grow rapidly and is actively seeking skilled workers. The conference’s mission is to help close the gender gap in the industry by introducing more women to rewarding, hands-on careers in fields like machining, fabrication, production management, and of course — welding.
