Program Description
Welding is more than simply fusing two pieces of metal together with a soldering iron. This program trains you with a technical understanding of arc welding, welding safety, arc welding power sources, electrode classifications and selection.
Our Welding program is designed to train you for the job market and prepare you to continue development through apprenticeship. Once you graduate, you’ll have the necessary practical skills to take a variety of job tests needed to work in the welding trade.
Career Possibilities
Graduates of this program may be indentured as apprentices, and may be employed as welders in industrial and commercial sectors such as assembly plants, fabrication shops, factories, shipbuilding, refineries and building construction. Welders may work on the same site for prolonged periods and may routinely perform a variety of tasks. Welders work closely with other trades persons, including steel fabricators, steam fitters, pipe fitters, boilermakers, carpenters, ironworkers, industrial mechanics (millwrights), electricians, machinists, sheet metal workers and mechanics.
Welding offers many career choices for employment development. From production lines to the laboratory, to research and development, national defence, sales and repair, the welding industry impacts virtually every industry on the globe.
