Go to work in many industries as a specialist in one of the most highly paid skilled trades.
What is Welding Technology?
Certified welders are among the highest paid of all the skilled trades. Welders join metals by applying intense heat from a gas or electric source to melt metal to form a permanent bond with or without the use of filler metals. Welders plan the sequence of operations and select the equipment to be used according to the kinds of metals involved and the type of weld to be made. Course work and practical experience will give you the skills and knowledge to determine and perform appropriate welding techniques. You will also learn blueprint reading and flame cutting of metals.
