Allen Mowery, continuing education and workforce development (CEWD) skilled trades coordinator at Wor-Wic Community College, has earned the prestigious certified welding inspector (CWI) certification of the American Welding Society.
CWIs are professionals who verify that welding, testing and fabrication operations meet required code and customer specifications. They are vital to ensuring the reliability and safety of welding in the industry. Candidates must have a combination of education, years of practical experience and the knowledge to successfully pass three rigorous exams, each assessing a different area of welding knowledge and skill. Mowery dedicated hundreds of hours to studying and preparation.
“Wor-Wic educates many welders in our region, so we are proud that one of our own can provide this model of knowledge and dedication to the field,” said Ruth E. Baker, dean of continuing education and workforce development.
Mowery assists with all CEWD skilled trades programs, and when needed, steps in to substitute teach Wor-Wic’s welding and machining and metal fabrication classes.
“I am happy that I can bring my knowledge and experience to help the next generation of welders in our community.” Mowery said.
