WELDING AND FABRICATION
Forge Your Future: Build a Career in Welding & Fabrication!
Students jump right into the action, learning how to fuse, cut, and shape metal using a variety of professional welding techniques. After learning OSHA safety standards, students spend most of their time in the welding booths as you perfect stick, MIG, TIG, and flux core welding. Students will program the plasma cutter and even do some forge welding. Whether you're interested in building, repairing, or designing, this program helps you develop the precision and confidence needed in one of today’s most in-demand trades.
From cutting metal with oxy-fuel processes to creating clean, professional welds on complex joints, students gain the hands-on skills needed in both commercial and industrial settings. With high demand for skilled welders across the country, this program sets you up for a solid, high-paying career or additional training right after high school.
