Welding Technology (900 hours) is a two-year program teachers students to use manual welding, cutting, and electrical arc welding processes to fabricate and join metal parts according to diagrams, blueprints, and specifications. Students will also learn all safety-related practices and techniques, including earning the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10
card. The program provides students with an in-depth understanding of the various Welding Technology process via both theoretical and practical instruction on specific skills. Students in this program actively participate in the SkillsUSA CTSO.
