Yoe High students selected for internships with Butler Weldments

Cameron ISD and C.H. Yoe High School are excited to announce that for the first time ever, two students have been selected to work in an internship during their senior year of high school with local manufacturer and fabricator Butler Weldments. 

Yoe High School seniors Landen DeLong and Bernardo Alvarez were selected through a competitive application and interview process after earning their AWS Welding Certification through Yoe High School’s Ag Science Department to take part in the Internship. 

Butler Weldments is a pillar of the community with over 40 years in business and has cultivated strong ties in both the military and commercial sectors, all while focusing on expanding facilities, capabilities, industries, and scope of work.

This internship will provide an introduction to welding technology with an emphasis on basic welding laboratory principles and operating procedures to include: industrial safety and health practices, hand tool and power machine use, measurement, laboratory operating procedures, welding power sources, welding career potentials, and introduction to welding codes and standards. 

The internship will also provide knowledge, skills, and technologies required for employment in welding industries. 

The interns will develop knowledge and skills related to this system and apply them to personal career development. 

This internship supports the integration of academic and technical knowledge and skills between Cameron ISD and a local employer in the community. The interns will reinforce, apply, and transfer knowledge and skills to a variety of settings and problems. 

They will learn about career opportunities, requirements, and expectations and the development of workplace skills in order to prepare for future success.
