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 Plumbing program is designed to prepare students to function as entry-level plumbers and plumbing assistants in residential and commercial environments.
The Gas Metal Arc Welding fundamentals certificate prepares students for entry-level welding employment. This certificate is designed to provide basic structural welding learning experiences for beginning and intermediate students. Students will take foundation courses in industrial safety, blueprint reading, Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG) and multi-position welding on plate steel and structural shapes.
The curriculum is a combination of safety and extensive hands-on training. The training duration is 640 hours within a 16-week (4-month) schedule. The complete program includes three welding process courses that must be taken in sequential order: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding {GMAW-S (short-circuit), GMAW (Spray Transfer)} and Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). Concurrently we teach a welding symbols course and blueprint reading course. The welding symbols for welding, brazing and nondestructive examination course follows the American Welding Society (AWS) AWS A2.4. Standard. The welder’s blueprint reading for fitter’s course prepares the welder to recognize and interpret design drawings used in the welding industry. Additional training and certification will be given on Starrett precision measuring instruments (PMI) through the National Coalition of Certification Centers (NC 3) curriculum.
Job Corps’ Painting, Pre-Apprentice training program teaches students the skills like how to apply paint, stain and coatings to walls and ceilings, buildings, bridges or other items such as cars, jewelry and ceramics, use machinery to apply the paints or use scaffolding and raise ladders, fill holes and cracks with plaster and putty, and utilize simple math to calculate dimensions. This program specifically prepares students for a Registered Apprenticeship after graduation. Students who complete the Painting, Pre-Apprentice training program can earn industry-recognized credentials from organizations such as the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER) and certifications in construction safety from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
