The Welding Production Technology program prepares students for employment in the construction, manufacturing and utilities industries. The program provides instruction in the most common manual welding and cutting processes. Training includes welding with “TIG,” “Stick,” “MIG,” and flux cored wires for most common materials. Cutting is done both manually and mechanized with plasma and oxy-fuel systems. Training is geared to provide the skill base, knowledge and professional attitude required to eventually become a highly skilled welder.
Students in LMC's welding program train on state-of-the-art equipment at the Hanson Technology Center, the Brandywine High School or the Allegan Tech Center.
When you complete the 60-credit Welding Technology program, you may apply for an Associate in Applied Science degree.
Employment of welders, cutters, solderers and brazers is expected to grow about as fast as average through 2026.
National 2016 median pay: $39,390 per year or $18.94 per hour
National job growth projections by 2026: 6%*
