Program Description
The welding program at TMC provides students with a competency-based curriculum that teaches the basic welding skills for entry level jobs necessary for the demands of the welding industry.
The Welding Technology program uses a cohort model of instruction that provides students the opportunity to complete their program of study through hands-on learning in a modern, well equipped and safe learning laboratory. The Welding Technology program is designed to train students to become the best welders they can be. To meet the advance technological demands that are evolving in welding, students will be using our Virtual Reality VRTEX 360 welding simulators that will train skilled welders faster as well as recruit the next generation of welders. Students learn to utilize safe working techniques and through a curriculum built on stackable credentials, students will earn OSHA certification.
Career Outlook
Welders work in a wide variety of industries, from car racing to manufacturing. Welders mostly work in the manufacturing, industrial and construction sectors. They work both indoors and outdoors, depending on the exact industry or welding project. Aging infrastructure across the country will require the expertise of welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers to help rebuild bridges, highways, and buildings.
