My name is Irais Gandarilla I am a local 290 apprentice pipefitter/welder and OTI grad. I was dispatched from my hall to BMWC constructors and I worked on this project. I am a woman and a minority and it was a great experience to see so many woman and people of color thrive on this site. I know this opportunity helped me show my skills hard work and dedication to learn my craft that I stayed employed with BMWC for the next two years. I am grateful for opportunitys like this program because they can really open doors for someone like me.
