Admission Steps

Students will learn basic welding and fabrication as well as durable skills in their professional development classes. We start every new class in the fall, and classes continue through summer of the following year. After students have successfully finished the classes on campus, they will go to work and receive 360 hours of onsite cooperative education with a local industry partner. This is a limited enrollment program, and classes are held in-person.
