The CWB Association brings you a weekly podcast that connects to welding professionals around the world and unrepresented communities as we continue to strive for a more diverse workforce. Join us as we celebrate Black History Month to learn about the incredible contributions of African, Caribbean, and Black Canadians to the welding industry and our communities.

Growing up in Halifax, Nova Scotia's vibrant Black community, Ivan Wright, a Welding Technician from Fronius Canada, is a testament to perseverance and the power of cultural heritage in shaping one's career. From early aspirations in sports to discovering a passion for welding, Ivan's path reflects the influence of historical communities and the need for representation in diverse fields. From motocross mishaps to mastering advanced robotics, his story underscores the importance of embracing every experience, learning from it, and moving toward new possibilities with courage and optimism.
