There’s still time to sign up for the few spots remaining in the next Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop, a virtual event to be held Oct. 5-6.

This workshop was conducted in person for many years and has trained more than 1,000 individuals within the steel industry. We took the workshop into our virtual platform in December 2020 and have now successfully conducted four virtual classes to rave reviews.

“I think SMU has done a fantastic job condensing so much valuable information into a short amount of time, while keep the atmosphere fun and well paced. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and have decades of experience. I will be recommending this workshop to my peers.” Brian Hunt, Supply Quality Manager, McNICHOLS CO.
