About This Program
Welding is a process that unites multiple pieces of metal or thermoplastic materials by skillfully melting and fusing them together using energy sources ranging from gas flames and electric arcs to precise lasers and powerful electron beams. This process plays an integral role in submarine manufacturing.Do you like working with your hands and making things? If you have good hand-eye coordination, are in good physical health, and have good technical aptitude, this may be a great career for you. Our program is designed for participants with little to no previous welding experience. While at ATDM, you will have the opportunity to learn multiple weld processes and positions, blueprint reading and interpretation, and welding safety. You will also have the chance to put those skills to the test as you earn nationally recognized credentials from the American Welding Society (AWS).
