Workforce Certificate

Numerous industries rely on the work of skilled welders. Shipbuilding, paper mills, power plants, aerospace, automobile manufacturing, construction, and repair shops are just a few of your possible employers after completion of this program.

With your knowledge and hands-on experience in most welding processes including SMAW (stick) plate and pipe, GMAW (mig) steel and aluminum, FCAW (flux cored) and GTAW (tig) plate and pipe on steel, stainless steel and aluminum, you’ll be prepared for immediate employment as a welder in the metal trades. Safety and good work habits are stressed throughout this program. The future job picture is excellent as nearly every manufacturer uses welding in its operations, which includes equipment repair and maintenance.
