The Welding Technology curriculum provides studentswith a sound understanding of the science, technology,and applications essential for successful employment in the welding and metal industry.Instruction includes consumable and non-consumableelectrode welding and cutting processes. Courses in math, blueprint reading, metallurgy, welding inspection,and destructive and non-destructive testing provides thestudent with industry-standard skills developed through classroom training and practical application.Graduates of the Welding Technology curriculum may beemployed as entry-level technicians in welding and metalworking industries. Career opportunities also exist in construction, manufacturing, fabrication, sales, qualitycontrol, supervision, and welding-related self-employment.

Job Corps’ Electrical 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. These skills prepare students for jobs as electricians across industries, including in the construction, manufacturing or engineering industries. Students who complete the Electrical 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).

Learn source determination, water distribution, waste removal, pressure adjustment, basic physics, technical math, blueprint reading, pipe installation, pumps, welding and soldering, inspection, and applicable codes and standards.

Demand for welders is increasing in construction, manufacturing, utilities and many other industries. To meet this need and make you job-ready upon completion of your training, the program is based on occupational analyses and the needs of the maintenance and fabrication welding industries.The program is a stand-alone, two-year, full-time program that will provide you with the knowledge and skills to become a professional welding technician. As a welding technician, you'll act as a liaison between the welding engineer and the welder. You'll inspect welded joints to ensure company standards, national code requirements and customer job specifications are met. You'll also assist welding engineering personnel in development and application of new and improved welding equipment, welding techniques, procedures and practices, and specifications for heat treatingStudents who excel in the program may be qualified to take certain welding certification tests. You may also elect to participate in LCCC's Work-Based Learning program where you will spend one or two semesters working in industry. During this time, you'll earn a wage, two-to-three hours of college credit, and important work experience. If you take a calculus-based sequence of math and science courses, you may also be eligible to transfer to Ohio State University's baccalaureate degree program in welding engineering. If transferring is your goal, you should consult an academic advisor before enrolling in the Welding program.

Job Corps’ OTP Advanced Manufacturing training program connects Job Corps students with other local training providers like technical or community colleges, trade schools or employers to provide specialized education and training services. Students learn skills like reading and understanding schematics and blueprints, positioning or aligning components and parts either manually or with hoists, using hand tools or machines to assemble parts, conducting quality control checks, and describing the commonalities and differences of the alternating current and direct current (AC/DC) systems (e.g., wire color codes in both). These skills prepare students for a career in manufacturing, production engineering and machine shops. Students who complete Advanced Manufacturing training at Job Corps can earn nationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society (AWS) and the National Institute for Metalworking Skills (NIMS).

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 Occupational Studies in Welding Technology (AOSWT) degree, available atthe Tulsa campus only, consists of two academic years containing a total of 60 weeks and 60semester credit hours. The first academic year of this program is the Tulsa Welding School(TWS) Professional Welder program (25 semester credit hours), which prepares a graduatefor entry level positions in structural, pipe, and thin alloy and/or pipeline welding. Thesecond academic year is directed toward course material for job entry as a Welding QualityAssurance/Quality Control Inspector (WQA/QCI) containing 35 semester credit hours. Eachcourse shall be four days a week and will consist of three weeks. The campus has not yetsought approval from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) for this program. Therefore,this program is not approved by TWC at this time.

Electro-Mechanical Technology (or mechatronics) is one of the most in-demand and highly sought-after careers in the manufacturing industry. The combination of electrical and mechanical skills based in computer-aided drafting, and machine technology create a unique blend of knowledge desirable to industry. These technicians are trained in a variety of skill areas, allowing companies to utilize their knowledge for a vast array of technical and mechanical issues. When everyday issues arise that could cost a company revenue when they occur, having a multi-skilled technician on staff that can address issues immediately allows companies to continue production at a minimal loss. Electro-mechanical technicians have become essential positions in the manufacturing industry.

The Advanced Industrial Maintenance Technology (AIMT) program contains seven courses, approximately 30 weeks, and 27.5 semester credit hours. The objective of the AIMT program is to train and prepare students for entry as industrial service and maintenance technicians in jobs that utilize technologies employed in the fields of manufacturing, distribution, energy production and facility maintenance. Students completing this program should have an understanding of mechanical and electrical principles, hazard awareness and mitigation, as well as manufacturing and distribution operations, and will have practical exposure to diagnosing, servicing and repairing common types of problems in related equipment. Upon successful completion of this program, students will receive a Diploma.
