Student Spotlight: Jayden 🧰

Jayden, a senior at Lawrence County Career Technical Center, is making great strides in the welding world!

🔥 With multiple certifications already under his belt—including numerous welding certifications and OSHA 10—Jayden recently achieved an incredible milestone: 3rd place nationally at the KWI National Senior Welding Competition, competing against 250 students from 23 states!

🏆 His achievements earned him a $10,000 scholarship, a welding machine, and more—plus a Presidential Leadership Scholarship to Northwest Shoals Community College.

Jayden’s success is a testament to his hard work and the dedication of his instructor, Brian Tidwell. We can’t wait to see what he accomplishes next!

Congratulations, Jayden! Keep up the great work!
