Program Description
Students in this two-year program learn metal-working processes that include welding, cutting, grinding and custom fabrication.
Students learn by using steel, aluminum and other metals commonly found in modern industry. Daily hands-on training exercises reinforce skills that enable students to reach entry-level proficiency in stick welding, MIG and TIG welding, flame-cutting, plasma cutting, tool and equipment use. Shop math, blueprint reading, group learning and career exploration complement the manual skills learned in the workshop.
Safety practices and craftsmanship are priorities, and student projects are strongly encouraged. Second year students can enter the welding industry with the help of paid and unpaid internships.
