WELDING AND FABRICATION
Students are jumping right into the action in the Welding and Fabrication program. After learning OSHA safety standards, students are working hands-on in our welding booths, practicing their stick welding or learning MIG and TIG welds. Students can also work on forge welding or program the plasma cutter for specific designs. Welders, especially those with a wide variety of skills, are needed both in commercial and industrial businesses.
