We’re proud to celebrate Libby High School students who are building real-world skills and earning industry-recognized credentials!

Through their Welding class at FVCC, 16 students took on the challenge of completing their certification exam—and 7 earned their G3 Certification! This achievement represents a major step toward career readiness, qualifying students in structural welding for groove and fillet welds in multiple positions.

Opportunities like these reflect GEAR UP’s mission to support students in exploring career pathways, gaining hands-on experience, and preparing for success beyond high school. Way to go, Libby Loggers—we’re excited to see what you accomplish next!

GEAR UP is committed to starting the conversation early with Browning High School sophomores about life after high school. One way we’re doing that is by providing opportunities like a recent visit to Helena College.

During the trip, students explored two campuses and participated in hands-on learning across a variety of trade and career pathways. They learned about programs like cosmetology, toured the aviation program, explored mechanics, and discovered many other postsecondary options.

This experience gave students a firsthand look at what’s possible and encouraged them to begin thinking about their future paths.
