This collection of courses will provide the student with specialized knowledge and skills to be prepared for entry-level employment in a variety of industries that utilize advanced welding positions and processes. Students that excel in the program may be qualified to take certain welding certification tests. Lorain County Community College has articulation agreements with colleges and universities, including programs offered by Lorain County Community College's University Partnership.You may choose to continue your education by applying the credits earned in this program to the Welding Operator One-Year Certificate or an Associate of Applied Science in Welding Technology.

This course will introduce the student to the world of tooling and tool holding as it applies to the machining process. Students will learn to select the appropriate tooling and tool holders for a wide variety of applications. Students will also learn to calculate the correct spindle speed and depth of cut for a selection of cutters and metals. Hands-on exercises will reinforce theory behind speeds, feeds, and tool selection in a machine shop environment.

This 12-week accelerated training program is a full-time commitment designed to help support the need for welders in the submarine shipbuilding supply chain.Submarine shipbuilding programs are vital to U.S. defense and national strategy. The submarine shipbuilding prime contractors and their suppliers perform a critical range of unique functions that require specific, well-developed skills in their workforce. The anticipated demand for submarine production and the current shape and demographics of the workforce indicates a shortage of workers with appropriate skills. Some of the country’s most significant Defense resources are based in New England, as are many supply chain companies and support the defense economy.Throughout New England, as of 2022, there are currently 406,523 jobs supported in the defense sector, a total of $40.3B in income in this sector and an annual economic output of $119.1B – all in the New England area. Welding is a key skill needed as part of this pipeline of work.
