Welding
Welding is an essential skill in manufacturing and repairing metal parts, and is in high demand everywhere!
If you are interested in an evening option, please visit our life-long learning classes to learn more about Welding for Skill Advancement or contact the Career Planning Center at 405.717.4900.
About this Program
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.
