Episode 162 with Ruth Falokun and Max Ceron

The CWB Association Welding Podcast

28-02-2024 • 1 hr 9 mins

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.

When Ruth Falokun describes her transition from Nigeria to the bustling energy of Calgary, Alberta, it's a testament to the resilience and determination one can wield when navigating new terrain. As a QA/QC Inspector in the welding industry, Ruth shares tales from the shop floor to the adrenaline-fueled environment of turnarounds, revealing her preference for the latter with its unpredictable challenges. Her narrative isn't just about technicalities; it's a profound reflection on the cultural and emotional nuances of an immigrant balancing family with a demanding career.
