Flathead Valley Community College will host an open house March 9 for residents of Lincoln County to view the new welding trailer housed at the college’s Lincoln County Campus in Libby.

The college has collapsed the two-semester program into an accelerated 20-week schedule. Those who pass the program will be certified welders and eligible to be considered for employment at Stinger Welding Inc. in Libby. Stinger projects to potentially hire as many as 150 welders by fall 2012.
The open house will take place at the college’s campus in Libby March 9 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. A brief program will begin at 5:30 p.m. in room 127. Tours of the trailer and refreshments will follow.
