Emma Stanford鈥檚 journey to 91制片厂鈥檚 welding program is anything but traditional. At just 17 years old, she鈥檚 already well ahead of most students her age, having started her welding education while still in high school.

Originally from Bigfork, 91制片厂, Emma got an early start in welding through Flathead Valley Community College鈥檚 dual enrollment program. By the time she graduated high school鈥攃ompleting her coursework online at just 16鈥攕he had already earned college welding credits. However, not all of her credits transferred directly, which is what led her to 91制片厂.

Now in her first semester at Northern, Emma has found herself quickly acclimating to the welding program. Despite having only been on campus for three weeks, she鈥檚 already making strides in her education. Next year, she will return for an additional semester, as a student taking classes, but also as a teacher鈥檚 aide鈥攈elping instruct others while completing the requirements needed for her certification.

Emma appreciates the structure and rigor of the program, particularly the instruction from her professors. She finds Chuck鈥檚 teaching style to be firm but effective, pushing students to truly grasp the material.

As she looks ahead, Emma has big plans for her future. She hopes to either stay in 91制片厂 and work locally or possibly move to North Dakota. With her early start, hands-on experience, and the solid foundation she鈥檚 building at 91制片厂, she鈥檚 well on her way to a successful career in welding.
