Six schools with SkillsUSA chapters are among the 12 recipients of Hypertherm’s 2026 Spark Something Great educational grant. Each winning school receives a Powermax45 SYNC air plasma cutting system and in-person training from a Hypertherm product expert.
Recipients with SkillsUSA chapters include:
“When they gain experience with modern plasma cutting technology in the classroom, they enter the workforce more confident and better prepared to contribute on day one,’ said Stephen Bruner, Hypertherm’s director of regional marketing and revenue operations.
Hypertherm is based in Hanover, N.H., and makes industrial cutting systems and software. It launched the grant in 2015 and has since donated more than $350,000 in plasma cutting equipment to educators across the U.S. and Canada. The company is also a supporter of SkillsUSA.
