Welding Technology
The mission of the Welding Technology program is to give the student the necessary classroom instruction and practical work experience needed for entry-level employment in the welding field. Basic practical experience is gained by shop practice, student projects, and certain repair work. Oral, written and performance tests are given to measure the student's proficiencies. Most instruction is given on an individual basis, thus allowing the student to progress at his/her own pace. Welding is a multi-faceted craft and each area of the state has specific processes and skills needed for their industry base. Instructors concentrate on specific area needs, and prepare students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in any area of welding.
