The Industrial Welding program provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design and build products by cutting and joining materials using ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Students will design and fabricate projects using current welding and fabrication equipment which simulates an industrial shop environment.

This accredited program consists of 9 core credits which provide theory and practical applications which prepare students for apprenticeship. The Industrial Welding program is associated with the Canadian Welding Association, Canadian Welding Bureau, and the Department of Labor. Students are evaluated through written tests in welding, power tools, blueprint reading, and math. Practical evaluations are conducted using Canadian Welding Bureau and Department of Labor procedures and standards.

Students should have good manual dexterity, possess a mechanical aptitude, and the ability to problem solve.
