Welders work in a variety of industries ranging from shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and repair, aerospace applications, and thousands of other manufacturing jobs. They use large machinery as well as hand-held or remotely controlled equipment to join, repair, or cut metal parts and products. They may work outdoors, often in inclement weather, or indoors, sometimes in a confined area.
The Production Welder Certificate is designed for dual enrollment, providing high school students the preparatory education and experience in the welding industry. The certificate is to be used as a stackable credential in the Welding Technology Program.
