The Welding Technology program is a Certificate of Achievement program designed to
prepare students for a career in welding. Program performance standards for certification
will be in accordance with those set forth by the National Center for Construction
and Research (NCCER), the American Welding Society (AWS), and the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Career opportunities for certified welders exist in
oil production and maintenance, agriculture, fabrication, manufacturing and construction.
Laboratory work is completed in a modern and well equipped welding shop.
