A training center is a working shop, not an auditorium. Expect welding booths, conduit benches, pipe racks, and block mock-ups — and expect your students to come home with burn marks on their gloves rather than a pamphlet.
Run a bead, bend a ninety, terminate a device, set a course of block. Short rotations so everybody gets a turn rather than watching one volunteer.
Second- and third-year apprentices who were sitting in your classroom two years ago do most of the talking. They answer the questions students actually have.
The training coordinator walks through application windows, the aptitude test, the wage scale, and what a first year looks like — with real numbers, not ranges.

Arrival time, where the bus parks, what students wear, the rotation schedule, and a named contact for the morning of.
