DAWSON CREEK – Two programs in the Trades and Apprenticeship Division at Northern Lights College have worked together to help with some renovations at the Dawson Creek Campus.

Two metal tables were constructed by a Level C welding student for use in the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) program.

Tyler Fisher, a Level C welding student at NLC, completed the tables in a month, essentially on his own. He worked from drawings provided by an AME instructor.

“There were lots of intricate little adjustments that had to be made in this project,” said Kevin Walters, a welding instructor at NLC, who supervised Fisher’s work. “Tyler made sure it was square and level, and performed all the welds. All the practical experience he gained as a C level welder was used in the construction of these tables.”

The tables will be used for Type training courses specific to helicopters, as well as for different projects undertaken in AME Basic programming.
