Glenmary School Student Trinity Thompson Now Fully Ticketed Welder at Age 1
Posted: November 9, 2016
The Holy Family Catholic Regional Division (HFCRD) warmly congratulates Glenmary School student Trinity Thompson who passed all four of her Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) structural welding tests. Trinity, a grade 11 student, is now certified to weld structural steel projects like stairs, railing and bridges. Trinity was able to get on the path toward this incredible milestone while still in high school through the RAP Program at Glenmary School.
“We are so proud of Trinity’s amazing accomplishment. As a participant of the RAP Program, Trinity has worked hard to master the welding trade,” said RAP Coordinator Scott Randall. “This type of certification usually takes years to earn and Trinity achieving this level so early in her career is a testament to her natural welding talent and her dedication to the trade.”
The Glenmary School RAP program allows students to simultaneously earn both high school credits and work experience hours that will go toward their trade certification. The decade-long program has allowed hundreds of students throughout the years to graduate from high school with a head start in their careers.
“Big thanks to our CWB auditor and tester for his excellent work as always, and to Trinity’s RAP Program supervisor Scott Randall,” said Trinity’s father Doug Thompson, who is also a welder. “Congratulations Trin! Amazing work!”
