Graduates in Demand<br />
Welding is used in countless industries. Welders—<br />
especially those trained in the latest technology—are<br />
in constant, nation-wide demand.<br />
What can I expect?<br />
Our program features hands-on, interactive training<br />
in our new welding facility, which features OSHA<br />
standard ventilation and customized welding booths.<br />
You’ll learn brazing, arc welding, heliarc welding,<br />
metal inert gas (Tig and Mig) welding and oxyacetylene<br />
welding.<br />
You can expect to recieve the latest and best in welding<br />
instruction, including learning to operate automated<br />
(robotic) welding equipment and ultrasonic testing<br />
equipment. You will also be exposed to diverse related<br />
skills, like basic electricity and blueprint reading.<br />
You can complete your degree in Welding Technology<br />
in nine months, or come back the next year for an<br />
optional Associate of Applied Science (AAS).<br />
Careers<br />
Welders who become thoroughly ac quaint ed with<br />
the techniques, materials, designs and new ap plica<br />
tions of the welding process can expect lots of<br />
opportunities and career advancement. Welders<br />
have a wide array of career choices including welder<br />
operator, repair and main te nance welder, pipeline<br />
welder, weld ing su per vi sor, weld ing inspector, welding<br />
technician and welding engineer.<br />
