Industrial Welding Technology

A future that will spark your interest

After a 19 year absence from the campus
welding was reintroduced in 2002 in a joint IET
Technical Department initiative
The 16 station lab supports multi-process
instruction in all common welding processes
Stations such as this feature inverter welding technology
and will support SMAW, GMAW, MIG and TIG processes
Our program offers 12 on-campus and 4 off campus sections serving
over 120 students per semester.
Classes are also offered at GAVC and WILCO Career Centers
Unlike many of JJCs occupational programs welding is not only a stand
alone skill but a required skill to support industrial maintenance
personnel, machinists, automotive repairers, electrical tradesmen ,
Pipefitters, and agricultural mechanics to name just a few.
Industrial Welding Technology
Associate in Applied Science



The Associate Degree Industrial Welding Technology Program is
designed to prepare the student for high demand occupations in the
industrial welding sector. Students will have the opportunity to
design a course of study to prepare them for occupations in the
maintenance, structural or pipe welding (at the certification level)
fields. Manpower surveys indicate a continued need for skilled
welders and multi-craft maintenance technicians throughout our
district. Welding technologies and skills are in high demand across a
number of industry sectors that include machine tool, industrial
maintenance, construction and automotive. Course work is offered
at convenient class times at the new state of the art welding facility
located on the main campus and at a number of satellite locations.

Participants in our first welding competition
for high schools students
Students from GAVC, WILCO, JTHS, and Lincolnway
participated to earn college credit and prizes. The program
was co-sponsored by Midwest Welding Supply and the JJC
Tech Prep program
Safety: First and Foremost
Safe operating procedures are the basis of
all of our coursework
Student demonstrates welding using the Oxygen
Acetylene process
WELD 218 a new course in our curriculum
covers the basics of fabricated pipe
construction.
