Future welders Jake Gibson and Shane O’Hara join Jason Spiess at the Energy Exposition and Symposium in Gillette, Wy.
Both Jake and Shane just arrived in Gillette days earlier and are fresh off their first day of class at Western Welding Academy.
Jake is from Oregon and talks about his journey to Gillette and welding. Shane comes from Tulsa, OK, and shares his story of pursuing the skills and trades walk of life.
The Energy Exposition has educated tens of thousands of people in Gillette, Wyoming; Billings, Montana, and Loveland, Colorado, over the last 20 years on procedures, technology, safety, environmental practices, and equipment used in the oil and gas industry. Our doors have always been open to industry and non-industry attendees.
Exhibitors and Symposiasts represent a wide range of services, including but not limited to, exploration, production, downstream, and all phases of support to the oil and gas industry. Members from the wind, solar, and other energy companies also participate in the annual event.
