Grade 12 student Megan Moase from is being recognized for her accomplishments in the skilled trades!
Megan recently won the Subject Proficiency Award for Technology at her school as a result of her academic achievements and passion for welding.
Megan says her interest in welding began on an elementary school trip to Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School. 鈥淲e went on a 鈥楾echnology Rocks鈥� tour where we got to learn about the different technology courses in high school. I was immediately interested in Manufacturing and was introduced to welding through that course. I loved the course so much that I took it from Grade 9-12!鈥� said Megan.
She also offered advice to female students who are interested in welding but are nervous to take the course because it鈥檚 a male-dominant class. 鈥淒on’t dwell too much on the opinions of others, as they don’t mean all that much in the future. I was a little intimidated being the only female in my welding class for three years, but I just focused on my work and completed tasks to the best of my ability. Keep calm and focus on your projects.鈥�
Megan will be taking a course at the Canadian Welding Bureau in Milton this summer and will be attending college for welding in the fall! She has yet to decide on a college, but says she is leaning towards Mohawk College鈥檚 program.
Congratulations, Megan, on your achievements in the welding trade!
