Welders can make a great living, nearly anywhere, as it is the most common method for permanently bonding metal parts, and welders are in short supply. Students will gain knowledge for fabrication of a variety of metals including steel, aluminum and stainless steel, and learn to use shielded metal arc (SMAW), gas metal arc (GMAW), flux cored arc (FCAW) and gas tungsten arc (GTAW), as well as oxygen/acetylene and plasma cutting equipment.
