Starting In January, Sullivan Central High School will begin the state's first dual enrollment program for welding.
The pilot program will allow students to learn from a Northeast State Community College instructor for college credit.
Sullivan Central teacher Barry Jessee runs the vocational program.
He says the new program is a way for students to start a career quickly.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the welding trade is expected to grow 15 percent by 2020. The median pay for a welder is over $35,450 a year.
