Metal Fabrication (Welding) Technology
The Metal Fabrication Technology program provides students the opportunity to learn practical knowledge and skill competencies associated with welding, metal fabrication and related processes. Opportunities for those who wish to become welders, cutters and machine operators should be good through the year 2015, as the number of qualified (certified) welders graduating from technical schools and community colleges is expected to be below the number of job openings.
JCCC provides well-equipped laboratories that enable students to receive instruction in oxyacetylene welding and cutting, shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), basic machining, metallurgy and allied processes. The program is accredited as an American Welding Society Participating Organization in the Training and Testing of Entry Level Welders, and the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER). Eligible students may elect to test under AWS QC10 certification guidelines and, if successful, be listed in the AWS National Registry of Entry Level Welders and/or the NCCER National Registry for construction workers.
Scholarships that apply toward tuition and fees are available for students enrolled in the Metal Fabrication Program at JCCC.
