Ask us how Fast Track can help pay for your degree!

Missouri is building a stronger future, and skilled welders are essential to that progress. The Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant helps adults gain the technical skills needed to enter high‑demand welding and fabrication careers. Through hands‑on training and financial support, the program creates a clear pathway into the field — from mastering essential welding techniques to contributing to major construction and manufacturing projects — helping strengthen both Missouri’s workforce and its communities.

Today our faculty, staff, and students fulfilled Crowder’s mission of serving. At our Earth Day event 🌱 🌎 we had a tremendous outpouring of students who didn’t mind taking 10-15 minutes out of their day to pick up a bag of trash. Just like any service experience once you get going the fulfillment is great and it’s hard to stop. We are so proud of the faculty & staff who stepped up providing great examples to others.
