Welding

Carrying the Torch

The art and spark of industry

In industrial settings, welders hold everything together by fusing metal into strong joints capable of supporting substantial weight.  

If you’re interested in mastering the most historic of all the skilled trades, and one borrowed by artists since the Bronze Age, we’ll show you how it’s done!

Our program will teach you how to safely operate, maintain and repair a variety of welding equipment, and give you insight about what to expect behind the torch.
