USU student wins bronze at the WorldSkills competition in Lyon, France
SALT LAKE CITY — Over the weekend, Utah State University Eastern student Wyatt Hansen earned a bronze medal in welding at the WorldSkills competition in Lyon, France. This comes just after he took first place at the National SkillsUSA competition in Atlanta, Georgia in March.
“The cool thing about doing really good and being successful is that it makes people more aware,” Hansen said. “A lot of people… I don’t think they really have an idea what I’m actually doing.”
Hansen said when he got to France, he only had a few hours to get used to their equipment.
“The welder is different. The gas, everything is slightly different. It could be the same machine and allegedly the same gas and whatnot, but it’s not ever really going to be the same as it would be here in Utah.”
