Welding Technology Degree
The Welding Technology Program at Kaskaskia College allows students to understand and explore the many avenues available for work enhanced by the skill of welding. Many professional trades use skilled welders (e.g. boilermakers, ironworkers, sheet metal mechanics, pipefitters and pipe welder, ship fitters and ship welders, automotive manufacturing and aerospace industries.) Most of the better paying jobs in the metal fabrication trades will only let those individuals that have passed a qualification test do the work. Before students in the Welding Program can attain an A.W.S., A.S.M.E., or A.P.I. qualification report, they must demonstrate a strong desire for safety and a thorough understanding of materials, equipment and the tools used by someone utilizing this skill. The students learn how to
