NWC is a welding competition that is participated by state and private polytechnic or higher education students from all over Indonesia.

This year, NWC raised the theme “Persahabatan dan Kompetensi untuk Menguatkan Pendidikan Vokasi.”

In this competition, Maulana took the plate welding GMAW 3G category. “This category is a process for welding blunt joint plates that are beveled or chamfered 30°. Then, it is connected with the same material with a vertical plate position. The welding process is translucent, and the translucent surface must be good, wherein the results behind it, welding is carried out from the bottom up,” he explained.
Maulana said that this competition consisted of two rounds, namely preliminary and final. In the preliminary round, all participants from the six categories took an online pre-selection exam consisting of a written test and welding. In this round, Maulana entered the TOP 4 in the plate welding GMAW 3G category on Saturday (28/8). According to Maulana, the results depend on how the training process has been maximized.
