Chevron funded Uttoron advanced welding lab inaugurated in Khulna Shipyard

Uttoron – Skills for better life project has recently organized the inauguration ceremony for advanced welding training facilities in Khulna Shipyard, Khulna, according to a press release.

Uttoron had signed an agreement with Khulna Shipyard in 2021 to launch advanced welding training and an advanced welding lab for the first time in Bangladesh.

The new advanced welding lab aims to support young people in enhancing their welding abilities, as there is a shortage of skilled welders in Bangladesh due to a lack of advanced-level training facilities.

To solve this problem, Uttoron collaborated with Khulna Shipyard to initiate the construction of an advanced welding lab.
