The trailer for “Project MFG’s Maritime Welding Nationals” is out, promoting the episode’s Friday night premiere.

Pennsylvania College of Technology’s expansive welding facility and its Thompson Professional Development Center hosted the competition in June.

“This year, the top welders from each of our Maritime Welding competitions were invited to compete in a National Maritime Competition," Project MFG promotions state. "The stakes were high, but they rose to the challenge! In the end, the winner walked away with $10,000!”

Project MFG’s Maritime Welding competitions focus on industry needs and invite high school students to participate in welding competitions to prove their skills, help industries identify skilled workers and expose students to the many job opportunities available to them in the maritime industry. 

Project MFG is an advocacy group focused on promoting, elevating and accelerating the trade workforce pipeline by informing future generations of the vast career opportunities within the skilled trades industry.

The Maritime National Championship was held at the same time as Project MFG’s National Welding League Championship. The full episode for “Clash of Trades: Welding League Edition Season 2” premiered Aug. 16 on Project MFG’s YouTube channel. Penn College is featured.

Penn College News will share the full episode of “Project MFG’s Maritime Welding Nationals Season 1” after its release. A June report on the competitions can be viewed here.
