Many of the changes included going "virtual" for practically everything. That was not the case for Warrior to Inspector! Warrior to Inspector kept its doors open (while implementing all required AZ Governmental Guidelines) to meet the increased demand for qualified inspectors. We have graduated three classes - the Fall of 2020, Spring of 2021 and just recently, the Fall of 2021. As mentioned, the demand for War2In graduating students is extremely high. All students from this graduating class received multiple job offers upon graduation. In addition, the scholarship program continues to be running strong! All 2021 graduating students had the opportunity to accept generous scholarship offers if they so desired. War2In is extremely proud of all the graduates from the past several years and of the service they are now providing in the industry!Tue, 15 Feb 2022 08:12:00 -0700http://www.war2in.org/blog/post/war2in-at-asnt-2021-the-annual-conferencehttp://www.war2in.org/blog/post/war2in-at-asnt-2021-the-annual-conference War2In staff and students visited the ASNT 2021 Annual Conference in Phoenix, AZ last November. Everyone was excited to be able to participate again. It was an amazing time of learning, networking, and connection!Tue, 15 Feb 2022 08:10:00 -0700http://www.war2in.org/blog/post/warrior-to-inspector-relocated-to-bellemonthttp://www.war2in.org/blog/post/warrior-to-inspector-relocated-to-bellemontWe moved out of Moonshot at NACET to our own building out in Bellemont. We are now located off the I-40 West between Camp Navajo and Schuff Steel. Warrior To Inspector was the first company in Moonshot, opening in October 2015. In this new location there will quadruple the indoor space we currently have at NACET. This will allow an even better training facility and will be able to better accommodate the expected increase in students over the next few semesters. Just in the last year, we doubled our size and outgrew our space. We are beyond grateful for all the help that NACET has done to get us where we are today. We will miss having foosball competitions with all the other companies that occupy NACET but we will have made lifelong connections. If you are unfamiliar with what it is that NACET does, let me take this time to explain. NACET stands for The Northern Arizona Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology. They are a business incubator and help small local businesses grow. They provide a beautiful, state of the art facility that offers many amenities that can be difficult to get small businesses just starting out. We would not be here if it hadn’t been for all the help from NACET and its supporters. Thank you!

From time to time we like to get together and practice. It makes for a much better welding inspector when they know how to weld themselves. When one of the guys has a welding set-up in his garage, it's hard to keep the other guys from coming over and using it. Every single one for the students bring their own skills with them to school. Learning from your peers is a crucial part of education. We can all learn from others and we all have something to teach. In the Warrior-To-Inspector program, students complete courses and earn certifications in Ultrasonic Thickness Testing, Ultrasonic Shear-Wave Testing, Phased-Array Ultrasonic Testing and Magnetic Particle Testing, which are all techniques used in welding inspection. In addition to the certifications, each student takes an exam prep course for the AWS-Certified Welding Inspector National Exam.Wed, 03 Oct 2018 10:00:02 -0700http://www.war2in.org/blog/post/grit-why-do-we-need-ithttp://www.war2in.org/blog/post/grit-why-do-we-need-itWhat does it mean to have grit and why is it important? Grit is a subject mostly studied by positive psychologist and has proven to be one of the strongest factors in an individuals success. Grit is a mindset that you are able to endure anything that comes your way. An individual with grit understands that failure isn't a permanent thing and that hard work and determination are what matter the most when striving towards a goal. Those with grit often have strong passion for a particular objective and demonstrate persistence in achieving their goal. Watch the video to learn more from psychologist Angela Duckworth and read her book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance to continue learning about grit and its influence on us. In the case of non-destructive testing, grit is a characteristic that will undoubtedly cause success. NDT inspectors are constantly facing new challenges in diverse environments. This constant change makes adaptability a must. These inspectors are working in all weather, trekking through all types of terrain, for endless hours, both day and night. Gritty NDT inspectors thrive in the challenges and push through all barriers. Do you have what it takes?Mon, 01 Oct 2018 11:30:36 -0700
