    An effort to expand the welding program at Clatsop Community College is moving forward with support from industry leaders, who are aiming to increase the pool of qualified local welders.

    Conversations between the college and local business leaders — including Bob Dorn, of Hyak Maritime, Willie Toristoja, of WCT Marine & Construction, and Greg Morrill, of Bergerson Construction — began several months ago under the direction of Mike Brosius. Brosius, a retired Costco executive, found that the businesses have a high demand for welders, but rarely hire from the college’s welding program.
