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 />
