Mylissa - CT State Asnuntuk
From the moment Mylissa stepped into the Advanced Manufacturing Program shop at CT State Asnuntuck, she was hooked.
“I enjoyed stick welding the most, or anything in the welding shop! Hands-on was the best over theory classes.”
Last May, the Shepard Steel team in Hartford welcomed Mylissa aboard as a flux core welder. In the next five to ten years, she aspires to continue her work at Shepard Steel while pursuing her side passion in the automotive repair field.
“Because of the Metallica Scholars grant assisting me, I didn’t miss out on anything. I am forever grateful to Metallica for all their support to make my educational experience as successful as it was.”
Metallica Scholars at CT State Asnuntuk use their funding to help cover the costs of PPE, OSHA fees, and textbooks.
