Program: Welding TechnicianECG machine

 

Welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers have been selected as one of Utah’s four-star occupations. The need for welders is increasing and the 2005 Occupational Outlook Handbook projects that this field will continue to grow faster than average over the next ten years. The TATC welding program will give you hands-on training in welding skills, in the use of welding equipment, and in reading blueprints. Completing this program will prepare you for entry-level welder positions with area businesses. You can also upgrade or supplement your skills with individual courses if you are already in the welding field.
