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).
In Pima's program, you will learn how to install, operate, maintain, and repair electric systems such as residential, commercial, and industrial electric-power wiring; and DC and AC motors, controls and electrical distribution panels. You also will learn about the principles of electronics and electrical systems, wiring, power transmission, safety, industrial and household appliances, job estimation, electrical testing and inspection, and applicable codes and standards.
Students in this program learn the theory and become proficient in the skills necessary to assume jobs as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning/refrigeration service and installation technicians. Heating and air-conditioning equipment make buildings comfortable for work, study or play. Refrigeration equipment makes it possible to safely store foods, medicines, and other items. The equipment that provides these conveniences is complex. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning/refrigeration technicians are skilled workers who install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair heating and cooling equipment. Much of the equipment with which they work is computer controlled. Technicians in this field are often employed to design, manufacture, install, sell, and service equipment that regulates interior temperatures of buildings. They often specialize in one area and may work both outdoors and indoors.
This program provides students with the basic electricity, heating, cooling and air distribution skills you'll need to join the heating and air-conditioning industry with interactive online simulators that get you started in a new career!
If you’re interested in educational and/or career goals and objectives that are not met specifically by one of the school’s traditional majors, the Engineering Technology, BS (Contract Major) may be an option for you.This type of major is considered an individualized education plan and may involve educational experiences in more than one school or college of the University. Contracts that involve advanced or specialized courses from more than one college are considered cross-college contract programs and must have the explicit approval of both schools or colleges. You may have the opportunity to take courses within business and communications, for example.
