Job Corps’ Welding training program teaches students 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 should also consider pursuing Advanced Manufacturing Production Technician, Advanced Machinist and other Advanced Training programs at Job Corps as a part of their career pathway. Students who complete 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 of Science in Engineering-Industrial and Systems Engineering prepares students for four-year institutions by introducing them to Computer-Aided Design (CAD), structural engineering, material properties, infrastructure, environmental factors, and their theories. By the completion of this program, students may be able to join the industrial engineering industry at entry-level positions. Students are encouraged to transfer to a four-year institution after the completion of the AS in Industrial and Systems Engineering.

This course will introduce the student to the usage of the manual engine lathe. Students will complete a series of shop exercises to master skills required for the creation of outside diameters, internal features, and basic threads. Students will complete a class project to demonstrate competency in the safe manufacture of precision parts on the manual lathe.

The complete program includes intermediate multi-axis, intermediate CAD/CAM, and Metrology. This course is a hands-on study of programming setup and operations of 3, 4-axis milling, and intermediate CNC turning. This is an intermediate course only available to students who have obtained successful completion of CNC Machining 1. The objective of this course is to introduce turning, 3, and 4-axis programming, setup and operations, 3D tool pathing, and intermediate set ups. Students will learn the benefits of 4-axis in the manufacturing industry and understand the use of turning, 3, and 4-axis for increased proficiency and intermediate tool pathing. This program converts 2D and 3D CAD drawing geometry directly into tool path information used to drive numerically controlled milling machines. This course's objective is to provide the basics of CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) set up, programming and operations. Students will learn the capabilities of the CMM, its use in the manufacturing environment, terminology, and quality assurance standards including introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerance (GD&T).

This program trains students in plate, mild steel pipe and stainless pipe welding using the GMAW, FCAW and the GTAW welding techniques.

Computer-Integrated Machining with an emphasis in Tool, Die, and Mold Making is a career with a bright future. The machining profession is the backbone of industry. Every product and every production line requires precision parts produced by skilled craftsmen.Since the skills are essential to every industry, the jobs are plentiful and the pay scale is excellent. Jobs are available locally and nationwide. Graduates of the CCCC program are recruited by local and regional industries.

The Nondestructive Testing (NDT) program is a cooperative effort between the WSU Tech and National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR). The associate degree program is a sequence of courses designed to produce a technician who understands NDT's role in the aerospace industry, has mastered the American Society for Nondestructive Testing's coursework for Levels I and II certification and has the depth and breadth of knowledge which comes from general education courses.

This pathway is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to complete a baccalaureate degree in civil engineering. Requirements vary among institutions. The following program is a composite of the requirements of the first two years of the baccalaureate degree at most four-year institutions. Students should have successfully completed a minimum of four units of high school mathematics, including trigonometry, and three units of science in biology, physics and chemistry.

Would you like to possess technical skills that make you employable all over the world? Would you like to be qualified for interesting, well-paying jobs? Would you like the opportunity to always be learning about new and cutting-edge technology? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then consider a career in industrial electronics.Electronic equipment is the life source in the world of business today. Electronically-driven controls direct production processes on factory floors, operate electric generating plants and even provide for the national defense through radar and missile technology. These complex pieces of electronic equipment must be installed, maintained and repaired by electronics technicians. Interested in understanding how this equipment works? Industrial Electronics LBWCC can teach you and prepare you for a job in the field of electronics. The Industrial Electronics Program includes instruction in AC, DC, digital, and solid state fundamentals; blueprint reading; material handling; motor controls; circuit fabrication; hydraulics and pneumatics; programmable logic controllers; construction wiring; environmental controls; motors and transformers; networking; and robotics.

The purpose of the Welding Technology program is to provide accessible, quality educational opportunities that will provide individuals with the knowledge, technical skills, and attitudes necessary to obtain entry-level employment in the welding profession.The diploma and certificates programs are intended to produce graduates who are prepared for employment as entry-level structural and / or pipe welders. Program graduates are to be competent in the academic areas of communications, mathematics, computer literacy, and human relations and in the technical areas of cutting processes, blueprint reading, SMAW and GMAW structural welding and SMAW and GTAW pipe welding to AWS standards.Reid State Technical College will accomplish program objectives by providing students with a comprehensive general education and technical training in the core area of Welding Technology.

This program prepares a student to become certified as an entry-level CADD operator and enter the work force. Coursework includes the creation of 2D and 3D CADD drawings using AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or other modeling software in support of industry trends and technology advancements.

As manufacturing equipment becomes more advanced and complex, trained and skilled technicians are needed. As an industrial electrician, you may perform a variety of functions related to electrical controls, equipment, and wiring in an industrial plant or worksite. Your work may involve testing, troubleshooting, installation, and repair of the electrical components. In addition, you may read and interpret blueprints and specifications, as well as remain current on electrical code specifications for the area.The Industrial Electrical Technician Short-Term Certificate program will provide an introduction to the necessary knowledge and hands-on experience with electrical circuits, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), and other mechanical systems. You may choose to continue your education by applying the credits earned in this program to the Industrial Electrical Technician One-Year Certificate or the Associate of Applied Science in Manufacturing Engineering Technology -Industrial Electrical Technician.
