恩橋獎學金、設備捐贈、員工訪問幫助Kishwaukee學院焊接學生完成學業，創造他們想要的生活
A single mother of five children dreamed of a better future for herself and her family. She knew the way forward-finish her college program. But to get there, to cross the stage and receive her diploma, she needed financial support. And she needed someone to believe in her.
一個有五個孩子的單身母親夢想着爲自己和家人創造更美好的未來。她知道前路漫漫-要完成她的大學課程。但要到達那裏，站在舞臺上領取她的畢業證，她需要財務支持。而且她需要有人相信她。
More than financial aid, scholarships show students that the community supports their pursuit of a better future, explains Kayte Hamel, vice president of college relations at Kishwaukee College, located in the village of Malta, Illinois, an hour's drive west of Chicago.
“獎學金不僅提供財政援助，更表明社區支持他們追求更美好的未來，”坐落在伊利諾伊州馬爾塔村（位於芝加哥西1小時車程），Kishwaukee學院大學關係副總裁Kayte Hamel解釋道。
Hamel also serves as executive director of the Kishwaukee College Foundation, which oversees financial support for students.
Hamel還擔任Kishwaukee學院基金會的執行董事，該基金會監督爲學生提供的財務援助。
"Scholarships create opportunities," she adds, noting the aforementioned student earned her diploma and is now working toward a degree.
“獎學金創造機會，”她補充說道，指出上述的學生獲得了畢業證，並正在努力獲得學位。
Kishwaukee College, known as Kish, aims to diversify its awards to support as many learners as possible and help them complete their programs. Each year, Kish disburses about $450,000 in scholarships, many to individuals who couldn't complete their education without this support.
Kishwaukee College（簡稱Kish）旨在分散獎勵以支持儘可能多的學習者並幫助他們完成課程。每年，Kish發放大約45萬美元的獎學金，其中許多人無法在沒有這種支持的情況下完成他們的教育。
Hamel notes that some program areas have fewer award opportunities for learners-technical programs like welding, for example.
Hamel指出，一些項目領域爲學習者提供的獎項機會較少，例如焊接等技術項目。
Nearly a decade ago, Enbridge saw a way to empower the next generation of welders to achieve their potential. In 2015, we established the Enbridge Energy Company Pipeline Industry Awareness Scholarship across the Midwest, which the Kish Foundation awards to five to 10 welding students each year. Since 2015, we have contributed $45,000 to the award through Fueling Futures grants.
近十年前，恩橋發現了賦予下一代焊接工人實現他們潛力的方法。 2015年，我們在整個中西部地區設立了Enbridge Energy Company Pipeline Industry Awareness Scholarship，Kish Foundation每年向5至10名焊接學生頒發該獎學金。自2015年以來，我們已通過Fueling Futures基金會向該獎項捐贈了45000美元。
In 2023, Enbridge Energy Company Pipeline Industry Awareness Scholarship grants or like-minded bursaries were awarded to seven post-secondary schools in the Midwest.
2023年，恩橋能源公司Pipeline Industry Awareness Scholarship獎學金或類似的助學金授予了中西部七所後續學校。
"The Enbridge scholarship is one of the only ones we have for students in the manufacturing and technology program areas at the college," Hamel explains. "To be able to offer it to students has had a great impact on them." Significantly, the college's welding program is growing, including a 20% enrolment increase in 2023, expanding from about 110 students to 132.
"Enbridge獎學金是我們在製造業和技術項目領域爲學生提供的爲數不多的獎學金之一，" Hamel解釋道。"能夠向學生提供這些獎學金對他們產生了很大影響。"值得注意的是，該學院的焊接項目正在增長，包括2023年20％的入學增加，從約110名學生增加到132名。
In addition to ongoing Enbridge scholarships, we've also supported the classroom experience of Kish welding students. We donated a diesel truck in 2023, a crane truck and electric welder in 2021, and a pipe beveler in 2018. And, each year, some of our master welders visit the college to do demonstrations and tell the students about working in industry. "The visits from Enbridge are a highlight for the students," Hamel says. "They get to see the real-world application of the technologies and teachings they're learning in the classroom." Investing in learners is an investment in the development of the industry as a whole, she continues.
除了持續的Enbridge獎學金外，我們還支持Kish焊接學生的課堂經驗。我們於2023年捐贈了一輛柴油卡車，於2021年捐贈了一輛吊車和電焊機，以及於2018年捐贈了一臺管子刨邊機。此外，每年都有我們的大師級焊接工人來學院進行演示，並告訴學生有關工業的工作。“恩橋的訪問是學生們的亮點，”Hamel說道。“他們可以看到他們在課堂上學習到的技術和教學的實際應用。”她繼續說道，投資學習者就是投資整個行業的發展。
"Community support helps students improve their lives and improve the lives of others."
"社區支持幫助學生改善他們的生活，並改善他人的生活。"
Enbridge master welders visit Kishwaukee College in March 2024 to demonstrate welding techniques and talk about the industry with students.
2024年3月，恩橋大師級焊接工人訪問Kishwaukee College進行焊接技術演示，並與學生交流他們對這個行業的看法。
