APPLIED WELDING TECHNOLOGIES
MISSION:
Our mission is to provide the necessary technical skills, knowledge, and attitudes to prepare the students for employment and to provide advanced training in a variety of occupations in the welding industry.
DESCRIPTION:
The training includes, but is not limited to use of blueprints and/or shop drawings, use of gases and/or welding processes according to diagram, blueprints or written specifications. Shop or laboratory activities are an integral part of this program and provide instruction in various processes and techniques of welding and fabrication skills. Laboratory activities also include oxacetylene welding, brazing, and cutting (OAW) Arc Welding (SMAW), MIG Welding (GMAW), Flux Cored Welding (FCAW), TIG welding (GTAW), Pipe welding and certification test preparation per current industry standards, practices and techniques.
UNIQUE REQUIREMENTS:
Certification in various welding processes is optional but enhances a student’s employability. The State of Florida requires students to meet a basic skills requirement prior to program completion.
The basic skills grade levels for this program are: Mathematics 9.0, Language 9.0, Reading 9.0.
- LICENSURE/CERTIFICATION/OTHER:
AWS/ASME/API Welder Qualifications Test. Upon completion of this program, students enrolling in A.S. or A.A.S. degree programs are eligible to be awarded credits at Valencia Community College
- Safety equipment is required for training
- Good physical condition and good eyesight are helpful
JOB TRAINING INCLUDES: Occupational Completion Point (OCP)
OCPs provide a student with early completion training options linked to employment opportunities established by the Florida Department of Education based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system and accepted industry titles.
Local employers have verified that the range of wages that can be reasonably expected by students who enter this field upon completion of the program is:
From $24,000. annually to $40,000. annually
(Based on year-round, full-time employment)
