Student Container Project

Southwest Campus students help create CTE campus in Uganda

Electrical Trade, Welding, and Construction students at our Southwest Campus have been working since January to convert a shipping container into a construction workshop that will be used to help build a humanitarian lodging and Career and Technical Education campus in Uganda. Working with McCarthy Building Companies, and Pipeline Worldwide, a non-profit that provides funding, time, and resources for projects that deliver access to clean water, sanitation, education, healthcare, and development to East Africa, West-MEC students received hands-on training for a cause that gives back to the world. Our students were able to put the finishing touches on it before the semester ended, and the container will be shipped to Uganda in a few weeks.

SRPDonates EV to West-MEC NEC

SRP recently donated an electric vehicle to our NEC Automotive Maintenance Technology program. The kind gesture will allow West-MEC students of the future to begin working on EVs, a natural evolution of the program as more and more EVs are hitting our roads every day. In time, there is hope for an EV program, but for now, this is the first and very critical step in that process and for our student's learning moving forward. Thanks to SRP for the generous donation!

SWC Career Fair

Our Southwest Campus Electrical Trade program hosted its first-ever career fair, and it was extremely successful. Open to the public, not just West-MEC students, anyone interested in trying to find a career in the electrical field was welcome to come and talk with 20 of Arizona's best electrical contractors. Multiple West-MEC students ended the day with a new job to look forward to, and countless others made new connections in the field.
