is a federal holiday in the United States. Established in 2021, it marks the historic date of June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved people in the U.S. were informed of their freedom. All Ivy Tech campuses will be closed on Friday, June 19, to give students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to observe and recognize the holiday in a way that is meaningful to them.

Not everyone wants to sit behind a desk all day.

We asked our welding students what they love most about their classes, and their answers are exactly why skilled trades continue to grow in demand. 🔥

If you’re looking for hands-on work, career opportunities, and skills that employers are actively hiring for, welding might be worth checking out.
