What skills will students learn? Students will perform “hands-on” activities including operating safely tools and machines used in the welding industry, cut and shape metal using oxy-fuel process, weld many types of metal using different welding processes, fabricate parts and jobs from specifications on a blueprint, and much more. Academically, students will read and comprehend information in the NCCER core and level one book, Blueprint reading, and metallurgy. What Certifications are available? • All students have the opportunity to get the OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 card. • Students will have the opportunity to get the NCCER core, and level 1 certifications which is entered into a national data base. Students that gain the experience and knowledge also have the chance to take the WV state welding certification exams in SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW on plate, pipe or both which aligns to AWS D1. What jobs/job titles are available to the students after graduation? A welder may weld or join metal parts on bridges, construction or power-plants, and refineries or pipelines. They may work in aerospace applications, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, and other areas where welding is necessary. Also, they can work in manufacturing, construction, ship and boat building, sheet metal fabrication, boilermakers, ironworkers, and many more. What work skills will be needed for these jobs? • Detail oriented • Mathematical • Focused • Good communication skills • Enjoys working with your hands and physically strong What skills should a student have to be successful in your program? A great welder should be willing to make themselves familiar with the latest welding tools and methods. It’s also helpful to have a vast amount of knowledge of different welding design techniques and equipment preferences. Welding also requires someone that is drug free and gets along well with others. These skills are attractive to employers looking to hire a welder to perform many different tasks on the job site. WELDING The Welding program at PCTC will prepare students to work on a variety of metal projects, giving them career opportunities nationwide, and even worldwide. Welding is the joining together of material using heat pressure or a combination of both. Welding is primarily used to join metal but plastic and other materials can be welded. It is a dirty and physically demanding job but has the potential for rewarding pay, benefits and satisfaction.
