The Certificate of Completion in Computer Programming trains students to become entry-level junior programmers. Working under the supervision of a senior programmer, the junior programmer (sometimes referred to as a programmer trainee) develops program structure charts and logic plans; codes, debugs, and tests programs written in high-level language; and prepares program documentation. The capstone course for the Certificate of Completion in Entry-Level Computer Programming is ITSC 2380, Cooperative Education-Computer and Information Sciences, General I.
Job Corps’ Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills needed to work with electrical systems in homes, businesses and factories, including how to install, maintain and repair electrical power, communications, lighting and control systems in places of all sizes, read blueprints and diagrams and will need to follow state and local building regulations, and use various hand tools and power tools. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Electrical, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and certifications in construction health and safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
The quality technician one-year technical certificate is designed to provide students with the knowledge and cognitive skills required to work as quality control technicians or improvement personnel in business and industry. They may assist quality engineers and managers in basic metrology and statistical process control charting.
This one-year online (30 week) Certificate provides students with specialized technical knowledge in industrial maintenance. This program is designed as a pathway to obtain an Apprentice status when sponsored by a New Jersey based company. This program is credit generating; therefore, Associates degrees of programs related to the discipline may be inclined to consider completion of these courses for transfer. Upon completion, students can continue to pursue a degree in CIM.AAS or TES.AAS.This program prepares individuals to apply technical knowledge and skills to repair and maintain industrial machinery and equipment such as cranes, pumps, engines and motors, pneumatic tools, conveyor systems, and production machinery as a maintenance technician.
Welder Fitter (900 hours) is our primary career-level program, and the one most frequently chosen by incoming students. This program is specifically designed for incoming students who have little or no welding experience and is eligible for financial aid to those who qualify.The program consists of metal cutting utilizing the Oxyacetylene torch and employing four common processes to make sound welds on carbon steel plate and pipe. The shop projects include various joint designs in all positions on plate and pipe. In Shielded Metal Arc Welding, several electrode types and sizes are employed with both AC and DC electrical arc welding machines. Two semi-automatic processes are taught: Gas Metal and Flux Cored Arc Welding. Structured theory classes cover welding safety, proper machinery set ups and adjustments, basic metallurgy, weld wire selection, welding joint design, and shop math. Instruction in blueprint reading includes additional shop math, welding symbols, and the basics required to read, understand, and follow welding blueprints.Specialized training includes extra hands-on time in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG) working with a variety of other metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum plate or pipe). It also covers Combination Processes, where students are instructed in the additional considerations that come into play when more than one process is needed in the joining procedure. The Welder Fitter program also includes basic instruction in both pipe fitting and structural layout.

Do you want to learn a critical industry skill that offers an interesting career with high pay?Welding is the process of uniting or fusing metals or thermoplastics by applying intense heat. Skilled welders are in demand by large and small industries. Welding also offers the opportunity to be self-employed.Welding is a high salary and high skill profession. Industry, both nationally and locally, needs skilled welders. The federal Occupational Outlook Handbook indicates that the need for welders will grow by 15 percent over the next 10 years. The Diploma and Certificate in Welding Technology provide students with a sound understanding of the science, technology, and applications essential for successful employment. Career opportunities exist not only in the welding and metalworking industries, but also in construction, manufacturing, fabrication, sales, quality control, supervision, and welding-related self-employment.
In this one year program, students will learn to use precision tools and instruments to include operation and setup of various types of general machinery such as drill presses, bandsaws, belt sanders, disk sanders, bench grinders, manual milling machines, and lathes. There is also a focus on computer numerical control program writing, setup, and operation for lathe and milling machines. Students who successfully complete the program will earn dual enrollment credit with Virginia Peninsula Community College and a Career Studies Certificate in Virtual Machining & Design.
