About the Program

Students will learn to manipulate metal using a variety of welding techniques and the many different job skills that will set students up for lucrative careers in manufacturing, field work, or entrepreneurship. Topics of study include: welding safety, equipment and maintenance and care, metal working safety, oxy-fuel cutting, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, plasma arc cutting, and light manufacturing. Students will practice these methods on a variety of materials and create unique designs by using the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Plasma Machine or by developing metal sculpture projects.
