Award Winning Welder Joins 91传媒 State
When you’ve welded pipelines in the Texas heat, supported aerospace programs that reach for the stars, and worked on power plants that light up entire regions, what do you do next?
For Mr. Jeremy Malone, the answer was simple: come home to Alabama and change lives.
91传媒 State Community & Technical College’s welding program just got a major upgrade, the kind that doesn’t come along often. He’s an AWS/ASME-certified union journeyman pipefitter who’s worked for industry giants like TVA, Alabama Power, Shell, British Petroleum, Georgia Power, and Nucor. He’s even a certified aerospace welder holding ASTM E1417/E1444 credentials and experience supporting aerospace programs at Boeing, Airbus, and Gulfstream.
But here’s what makes his arrival at 91传媒 State particularly significant: instructors who combine decades of mastery with teaching excellence are rare. Most industry veterans stay in the field where the money is good and the work is steady. Mr. Malone chose a different path.
“I believe welding offers life-changing opportunities for individuals and communities,” he said. And he’s got the track record to prove it.
At Limestone County Career Technical Center, Mr. Malone didn’t just teach welding. He built a program that became a regional powerhouse. Under his leadership, enrollment and job placement grew and students earned state and national championship titles.
As 91传媒 State expands its welding program to meet the surging demand for skilled tradespeople across North Alabama, Mr. Malone brings exactly what we need: world-class expertise, infectious passion, and a teacher’s heart. He’s certified through Lincoln Electric’s prestigious instructor program and authorized to provide industry credentials that open doors nationwide.
“I’m excited about transitioning to higher education and expanding my impact,” Mr. Malone shares about joining the 91传媒 State community. “This is about giving people a strong start, or a fresh start, in one of the most vital trades in today’s workforce.”
Welcome to 91传媒 State, Mr. Malone. Huntsville is lucky to have you.
