Welding Course offered at Salish Kootenai College
PABLO — Salish Kootenai College (SKC) is partnering with the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) to offer a welding course and paid training for CSKT members and descendants. The eight-week course will run Monday through Friday from August 19 to October 18. Attendees will earn a stipend of $100 per day, which will help ease the financial burden that some students face when taking time off work to enroll in a full-time course.
