you are interested in a welding or manufacturing career. You will spend
about twenty-five percent of your class time learning the three basic
welding processes, which include stick welding, wire welding and Tig
welding. You will also learn to operate the plasma arc machines. Industrial
mechanics install machinery, use precision measuring devices and operate
complex tools, in a variety of manufacturing businesses. The industrial
mechanic is the key problem solver in the workplace. The second year
of this program includes an exciting internship in an area manufacturing
facility. Sign up for this class because it will give you a “jumpstart”
in your welding or manufacturing career.
