Overview
About the Program
Welders are more in demand now than in the past 30 years, with job opportunities expected to stay strong. They are essential in almost every industry using metal parts, offering diverse career paths. These range from precise aerospace work with electron beams and lasers to large-scale structural welding using submerged arc and flux core for buildings and bridges. Welding is adaptable, used everywhere from labs to underwater environments.
The DACC Welding Technology program is nationally accredited by the American Welding Society (AWS), and is taught by nationally qualified instructors. DACC welding instructors have extensive welding experience (nuclear, pressure vessels, aerospace, etc.), numerous welding certifications (SMAW, GTAW, GMAW, FCAW, SAW), and extensive experience teaching welding technology. The program is also one of a handful of programs, nationwide, that has an orbital TIG unit that allows students to join tubing as small as one-quarter inch in diameter.
Depending on employment, graduates may be required to:
*Work in extreme temperatures
*Lift and safely move 50 pounds
*Have good eye-hand coordination
*Work safely around compressed gasses and electrical equipment
*Ascend and descend ladders
*Work safely in confined spaces and awkward welding positions
*Tolerate a noisy working environment
