As manufacturing equipment becomes more advanced and complex, trained and skilled technicians are needed. As an industrial mechanic, you may install, test, maintain, and repair mechanical systems such as conveying systems, production machinery, and packaging equipment. Your job will be to keep the manufacturing equipment running smoothly in order to ensure continuous operations.The Industrial Mechanical Technician One-Year Certificate program builds on the related short-term certificate program and will provide an introduction to the necessary knowledge and hands-on experience with industrial electrical components, welding technologies, and other mechanical systems. You may work as an entry-level mechanical maintenance technician or choose to continue your education by applying the credits earned in this program to an Associate of Applied Science in Manufacturing Engineering Technology -Industrial Mechanical Technician.

Job Corps’ Advanced Welding training program teaches students advanced skills like joining metals using a variety of techniques and processes, understanding and following safety procedures, including properly using safety equipment, and identifying and explaining the composition and classification of metals, and designing and building a fixture for assembling simple parts. These skills prepare students for a career working in a variety of jobs for manufacturing companies, construction companies, trade shops, shipbuilders or repair shops. Students who complete Advanced Welding training at Job Corps can earn nationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society (AWS) and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS).

The Associate in Applied Science in Welding Inspection and Quality Management (AASWI) degree consists of two academic years containing a total of 60 weeks and 62.5 semester credit hours. The first academic year of this program is the Professional Welder program (25 semester credit hours), which prepares a graduate for entry level positions in structural, pipe, and thin alloy and/or pipeline welding. The second academic year is directed toward course material for job entry as a Welding Quality Assurance/Quality Control Inspector (WQA/QCI) containing 37.5 semester credit hours. Each course shall be four days a week and will consist of three weeks.

Graduate with a Machine Tool Certificate and you will have gained the basic skills necessary to step into an entry-level position in the machine tool trades. Furthermore, these courses are directly applicable to the completion of the Tooling and Manufacturing Technology Certificate program (Academic Program Code: 920) and/or the Tooling and Manufacturing Technology A.A.A.S. degree (Academic Program Code: 908) if students wish to pursue further educational credentials.

Job Corps’ Advanced Marine Pipefitting training program teaches students advanced skills like installing and maintaining pipes that may carry chemicals, acids and gases, interpreting marine piping system blueprints to determine the correct components and raw materials needed to construct and install piping systems and pipe support structures, and removing hazardous materials to prevent or minimize the release of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive debris. These skills prepare students for a career in building and maintaining boats and ships of all sizes, working in factories, processing plants, nuclear reactors or refineries, or even a fire suppression company to help install fire sprinklers. Students who complete Advanced Marine Pipefitting at Job Corps can earn nationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society (AWS) and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS).

The Basic Mig Welding program prepares students for employment in the welding industry as structural welders in a production environment. Students will gain hands-on experience with Oxy-fuel cutting, Plasma Arc Cutting, Gas Metal Arc Welding as well as an overview of blueprint reading and basic mathematics. The program includes a wide variety of welding experiences for structural and production welding. Students can exit the program with a certificate in welding and an AWS welding certification. In addition, the Wallace Campus has been designated by the American Welding Society as an Accredited Testing Facility.

Electronics and Electrical Engineering technicians build, test, service, and repair electronic equipment used in a variety of industries. Topics covered in this program include electronics principles, circuit troubleshooting and design, PLC, motor controls, hydraulics and pneumatics, and industrial automation.

The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Technology curriculum provides the basic knowledge to develop skills necessary to work with residential and light commercial systems.Topics include mechanical refrigeration, heating and cooling theory, electricity, controls, and safety. The diploma program covers air conditioning, furnaces, heat pumps, tools, and instruments. In addition, the AAS degree covers residential building codes, residential system sizing, and advanced comfort systems.Diploma graduates should be able to assist in the start-up, preventive maintenance, service, repair, and/or installation of residential and light commercial systems. AAS degree graduates should be able to demonstrate an understanding of system selection and balance and advanced systems.

This course will introduce students to the subject of G&M programming as it relates to 2-axis CNC turning centers. Students will learn programming structure, tool-pathing, and canned cycles specific to the CNC lathe. Students will complete a series of shop exercises to develop skills and prove competency in the subject area.
