Welding is used in aviation, engineering, manufacturing,  construction, maintenance and the auto industry. It is an essential skill whether you are building skyscrapers in  Manhattan or manufacturing auto parts in Burlington. 

Heli-arc, wire, torch and conventional arc welding are among  the many different welding techniques and procedures students can learn. Using modern welding equipment and machinery, students are trained in setup techniques, metal  properties, and blueprint reading. AWS (American Welding  Society) certification is available for students who successfully complete this program. 

The Welding and Metal Fabrication Program trains students in  the recognition of metals as well as the proper procedures of  welding. Instruction includes electric arc, oxyacetylene, and  Tungsten inert gas welding, as well as metal cutting and brazing.  Instruction also includes safety, care and use of small hand and  power tools. During the second year of this program students are encouraged to design and  build their own projects such as go-carts, tools, trailers, etc. Qualified students are placed in related jobs through the Cooperative Education Work Experience Program.

Qualified students may earn advanced standing at the Baran Institute of Technology.  Well-trained, competent welders can apply their skills in a variety of settings around Chittenden County and in the rest  of the world.
