Welding students make donation to American Legion for Veterans Day

Posted On Nov 03, 2022

BLACKFOOT, Idaho (KIFI) – Blackfoot High School welding students joined with apprentices from Premier Technology to build a Retired Flag Deposit Box which will be donated to the American Legion in Blackfoot, Idaho on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.

The students spent Nov. 1 and 2 learning from apprentices and creating the box.

Premier Technology partnered with Blackfoot High School to highlight the value of apprenticeships in Idaho.

Premier Technology created their first Department of Labor Registered Apprenticeship Program over three years ago in Machining and quickly added a Welder/Fabricator Program.

Apprentices learn the trade with a combination of on-the-job-training and formal class time at the College of Eastern Idaho.
