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).

A computer numerical control machine (CNC) is a tool that forms materials to a desired shape for parts and component requirements. CNC machines use pre-programmed software to control the movements of complex machinery, including grinders, lathes, mills, and other cutting tools used to remove material. These computer-aided manufacturing techniques can perform a wide range of complex and precise CNC machining tasks to create manufactured products and specifically designed parts for today’s nuclear submarines.The ideal candidate for CNC machining would be a student interested in a career that challenges the mind while being hands-on every day. It is a rewarding job that allows you to see firsthand what it takes to make a complex product from a basic piece of material. At its core, the CNC machining course utilizes computerized machines and cutting tools like drills to make many of the items we use daily. Even if you have no experience or prior knowledge, the ATDM CNC machining class was developed to ensure student success from any background.If you already have CNC machining, additive manufacturing, metrology, or welding experience, you would be a great fit to take your manufacturing knowledge a step further. For example, in CNC machining, students learn to use many of the measuring tools that are taught in metrology. In additive manufacturing, students would benefit from having worked with CNC machines since the logic is the same for the additive machines. Finally, from the CNC machining class, students have a basic understanding of metallurgical properties. Students would be able to apply that knowledge to the welding class, where metals are fused.

The CNC Mill and CNC Lathe Operator Occupational Skills Award incorporates introductory manufacturing processes and skills, providing hands-on experiences emphasizing computer numerical control (CNC) setup, operation, and code modification. The skills award learning outcomes align with industry-recognized proficiencies that qualify a graduate to apply for entry-level positions requiring CNC Mill and CNC Lathe operator and setup skill sets.

The Associate of Occupational Studies in Welding Technology (AOSWT) degree consists of two academic years containing a total of 60 weeks and 60 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 35 semester credit hours. Each course shall be four days a week and will consist of three weeks.

Subtractive manufacturing and additive manufacturing methods form the basis for advanced manufacturing practices. The Advanced Manufacturing curriculum is based on developing machining and programming skills in the following areas: applied mathematics, technical drawing, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, CNC milling, CNC turning and solids modeling. In addition, courses develop and reinforce communication and computer-usage skills which are in high demand in the modern work environment.High school graduate reading and writing skills are expected; development of technical documents, use of technical manuals and interpretation of machine tool codes are required in these courses. Math skills should include practical knowledge of algebra, basic trigonometry and geometry.Courses in each level (Foundation, Core, and Advanced Track) must be completed prior to advancing to the next level. Where more than one course is offered within the level, courses may be taken in any sequence.

Participants will learn the basics of SMAW in accordance with the AWS (American Welding Society) D1.1 standard. Topics covered include weld terminology, Oxyfuel welding setup, Arc welding processes and safety, OSHA standards, visual inspection as well as several types of welds. Participants will also be introduced to GMAW and GTAW. AWS certification is offered to those students who pass qualification. Passing of the AWS 3G and 4G 1″ testing also qualifies the student for the New York City welding license. Training is taught in a blended format of 180 hours of classroom and lab, with an additional online learning component. All books and materials included. Each student will be given a jacket, and gloves. Helmet and Certification fee not included. for more information call 631-851-6200.

This program offers training in welding skills including MIG, TIG, metal cutting techniques, and small machine operation related to welding. It also covers weld blueprint reading and related processes, as well as CNC fabrication equipment associated with welding fabrication. Hands-on welding and project completion are integral parts of this program.

This program teaches machine controls, setting tools, machine limits and capabilities; creating, editing and debugging high-tech machine programs; utilizing high-end CAD/CAM software; basic 3-axis to multi-axis machining and turning centers; and Rapid Prototyping.

The mechatronics technology program focuses on the integration of mechanical, electrical (electronics), fluid power (hydraulics or pneumatics), and computer technologies to control machine movements. The students' studies begin with courses in mechanics, sensors, basic electronics, pneumatics, control logic, and robot programming and control.

Robotics and Automation Engineering has evolved around several engineering and technology fields such as electrical, mechanical, and electro-mechanical, as well as electronics engineering. It merges the fundamental principles of electrical hardware and sensor usage with pneumatics, hydraulics, computer programming and instrumentation science, and related applications.The Minor in Robotics and Automation (ROBT) introduces students to mechatronics engineering and prepares them for automation-related careers in process control, manufacturing, computerized hardware/software integration, and sustainable automated systems. It allows students to engage in real-life, industrial processes related to automation in an industrial robotics laboratory setting.
