Welding Technologies is for the adventurous and courageous individual

who likes a challenge. The Pinkerton Welding student will practice

many skills needed for a successful career in the metal trades indus-

try. Students spend their first year in the program learning workplace safe-

ty, electric arc welding with an arc that reaches 10,000 degrees, oxy/acetylene welding and

cutting with a flame of 6,300 degrees and plasma cutting, brazing, soldering and blueprint

reading. In the second year, they improve their skills by working with different alloys such

as aluminum, stainless steel and cast iron, and expand their competencies by practicing dif-

ferent welding techniques in a variety of positions. The Pinkerton Welding student will

complete actual jobs brought to the program by members of the seacoast community. It is

possible for students to earn their OSHA safety training certificate, and by the completion

of the program will have enough experience to take and pass the certification tests in

GMAW (MIG), SMAW (Stick) and GTAW (TIG) welding. Pinkerton welders compete

in Skills USA local and national competitions which help to build leadership and profes-

sional skills. Upon graduation, many students choose to continue their education at highly-

respected colleges and training programs throughout the U.S.
