Welding skills are used to fabricate and repair projects. The job outlook is increasing due to the aging infrastructure and need to fill the skills gap. Our 600-hour program (about 7 months) teaches the phases and types of welding, preparing students to be workforce ready after completion of the program.  Students complete 80 hours at an externship site.
