Welding-MIG

Program overview

MIG and Flux-Cored welders use Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) processes to join metal components in manufacturing, fabrication, construction, and industrial maintenance settings. Employment opportunities are available in production and structural environments. The occupation requires adherence to safety standards, attention to detail, and the ability to produce consistent, high-quality welds.
