The Welding program allows students the opportunity to complete certificates at two levels and to transfer these certificates toward an Associate of Applied Science degree in Industrial Engineering Technology. The Level I Welding Certificate is for students who intend to seek entry-level employment after completing a one-year program of study. The Level II Certificate is for students interested in advancing their skill level beyond Level I.

The curriculum fulfills the guidelines of Excel in Career and Technical Education, which provides students with a technical education background to prepare them for college and a career. Students will learn GMAW, GTAW, SMAW, FCAW processes as well as various cutting processes. First-year students will take part in the American Welding Society (AWS) 1G, 2G, 1F, and 2F Welder Procedure Qualification Records (WPQR). Second-year students will participate in AWS 3G, 4G, 3F, and 4F Welder Procedure Qualification Records (WPQR).

Advanced students will also have a chance to participate in (AWS/API/ASME) 6G. These qualification records will demonstrate that a student possess the knowledge to perform industry standard weld procedures that readily translate to the workplace.  Careers in welding include welding, cutting, soldering, and brazing in the construction, manufacturing and utilities industries. Specific job titles include welding technician, supervisors, inspectors, instructors, and shop owners. The job outlook for welders in the construction, manufacturing, and utilities industries is increasing.
