Santa Cruz County CTE Career Pathway – Engineering and Industrial Technology - WELDING | |

|A career in welding provides students with an understanding of how welding and related careers fit in the manufacturing process. During the manufacturing process, highly skilled craftsmen apply a wide variety of |

|bonding techniques. Topics include mechanical bonding, joining, cohesive bonding, adhesive bonding, and mechanical fastening. Newer welding methods include laser, ultrasonic, and electron beam. The demand for trained |

|welders continues to look good. |

|Core Competencies taught in all CTE courses: (Personal Skills and Work Habits - Development of the necessary attitudes and skills to be successful in the workplace( Interpersonal Skills – Able to communicate |

|effectively individually and as part of a team( Critical Thinking and Problem Solving – Ability to think logically and find solutions to a problem ( Academic Foundations – Strong academic foundation in reading, |

|writing, mathematics and oral communication ( Career Foundations – Strong career and technical skills in chosen career path |

|This Program of Study (POS) is for those students who indicate an interest in this career cluster. This POS serves as an educational guide, as students explore and plan their career path. Courses listed within this |

|plan are recommendations only and should be individualized with a counselor to meet each student’s educational and career goals. Students need to meet their high school graduation requirements as well as pass |

|appropriate college placement exams. Students should meet with a counselor early to plan their Program of Study in this career pathway. Once an educational plan has been developed, students are encouraged to take high |

|school courses that also give college credit and participate in work-base learning activities. |

Welding Occupational Program at Cabrillo Community College (cabrillo.edu)

Welding Technology is an integral part of all industries that require the fabrication, maintenance and repair of metal structures. The Welding Technology program at Cabrillo is designed to prepare students for entry-level employment in welding and fabrication related industries, which include agriculture, construction, manufacturing, marine technology, and transportation. Interested students can pursue Skills Certificate options, continued education/re-training and qualification testing for those currently in welding related trades. In addition, American Welding Society certification testing is available. Students who want to take additional courses to enhance their knowledge are encouraged to select from the following electives: BUS 15B, BUS 18, CG 54, CG 208, ENGR 5, ETECH 24, FT 7, W 155, W190AZ, W 199C. (d) Due to safety concerns caused by the use of potentially hazardous equipment, students must be 18 years of age or older to enroll in any Welding course.

SKILL CERTIFICATES: The college offers two Skills Certificates in this area. The following are a sample of the Welding Occupational courses offered at Cabrillo College. For more information go to

W 150 Arc Welding: Introduces basic arc welding skills with an emphasis on safety, oxyacetylene cutting, shielded metal arc welding and GMAW (MIG) welding techniques.

W 151 Gas and TIG Welding: Presents a basic training in the flat and out of position welding of steels with the oxy-acetylene welding method, followed by the welding of steels, aluminum, and stainless steel with the GTAW process.

W 152 Advanced Welding: Continues training in arc and gas welding in various positions; introduces MIG welding, TIG welding, flux cored arc welding and flame cutting.

W 152A Advanced Arc Welding: Presents continued advanced training in SMAW (Stick) welding techniques, focusing on the 3G and 4G positions with low hydrogen electrodes, enabling students to pass sample AWS welding code tests.

W 152B Advanced MIG Welding: Continues advanced training in GMAW (MIG) welding techniques, focusing on all positions and sheet steel gages, in preparation for light gage fabrication and body-fender repair applications.
