Welding
The Welding Technology Program prepares Navarro College students for employment in the metal and construction trades. This is a field that continues to grow and is very much in demand with a high family wage potential. Students will gain experience and competencies in all major welding, cutting and fabrication theory and processes. Students can earn a certificate or Associate of Applied Science. The Program includes classroom instruction and hands-on-training in metal trades including safety, blueprint reading, metallurgy, power sources, tools and materials, welding and layout, and fitting techniques.
NEW!! WELDING ON WHEELS
WAXAHACHIE & MEXIA CAMPUSES
If students can't get to a classroom, we're bringing the mobile classroom to them! The WELDING ON WHEELS lab is a trailer, roughly the size of a bus, housing welding stations for students. Students will have an opportunity to learn welding techniques, safety procedures and blue print reading, and earn an entry level welding certificate upon completion and two industry-based certifications: NCCER Core and OSHA 10.
The mobile welding lab is available on the Waxahachie Campus and Mexia Campus.
