Sparks, steel, and a trade that pays.
16-2410 weeks, 2 evenings/weekCohorts forming — first session Fall 2026
What you'll learn
- Shop safety, PPE, and clean work habits
- MIG welding fundamentals (mild steel)
- Reading basic shop drawings
- Cutting, grinding, and prepping metal

What you'll build
A welded fabrication project of the cohort's choosing — a fire pit, a trailer ramp, or a small piece of equipment.
The entrepreneurship angle
Welders make $80,700 median one year out of apprenticeship. Mobile rigs and fabrication shops are real businesses that 22-year-olds run. We'll talk about what that path actually looks like.
