Airgas Supports Veterans

Week of August 04, 2008

Airgas, a distributor of industrial, medical, specialty gases, and welding and safety products, will hire 100 veterans of operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom in conjunction with its new partnership with the organization Operation Homefront. For veterans who think they may be interested in learning the welding trade, Airgasis also offers a "Welding 101" course. While the company does not actually do welding, it has the facilities, courses and certified welding engineers needed to offer the two days of classroom instruction and hands-on experience that serve as a good way to gauge interest in pursuing the trade further. Eligible veterans interested in participating in Airgas' welding training course or possible employment with Airgas should contact Operation Homefront. For more information, visit the Operation Homefront website or contact Meredith Leyva at (757) 410-4926.
