The Welding programs prepare students for employment in the welding industry. Two tracks are offered: a general welding focus and a maritime welding focus. Graduates are provided education and training for environments such as shipyards, utilities, manufacturing, marine, and oil refineries.
A moderate level of manual dexterity and an average mechanical aptitude are helpful. Prospective welding students should contact the Welding Department at (757) 822-2300 for academic advisement.
The Certificate in Welding builds on the skills presented in the Career Studies Certificate in Welding. In addition to learning about college success skills, students gain competencies in English and math.
