We introduce you to metal processing, basic welding and cutting, sheet metal work, machine shop practices, maintenance and troubleshooting. You will progress from simple hand and machine processes to more exacting operations such as machining, fitting and reassembly. The trade theory and practical work of this program are supported by instruction in trade-related mathematics, physics, communications, blueprint reading, shop safety and basic metallurgy.

Programmer Analysts are specialists in computer programming. They design and develop software systems and then learn how to apply them in a business-oriented environment. You’ll learn essential information technology skills and how to program for businesses. Upon graduation, we offer a work practicum at an employer's site. There's no speaking in code here - computer technology dominates industries. Programmer Analysts find meaningful work quickly in diverse fields, including: information technology, manufacturing, and education.

Steel is one of the world’s ultimate building materials. And working with metal is one of the oldest and most important trades. Since the early days of metal working, skilled fabricators have played a huge role in our evolution. Today, the work they do still impacts almost every facet of our lives. Steel fabrication is a big industry where you can build big things from buildings to ships, bridges and more. If you have an eye for precision, strong math skills and manual dexterity, you have the raw materials to be a great steel fabricator.

Our program immerses you in every step of the fabrication process. You’ll learn how to cut, form, bend, assemble, erect and weld metals. You’ll work with metal fabrication tools, machinery and modern technology to master the skills that will make you a great addition to any fabrication team specializing in your area of interest. Enroll today to become a skilled professional who can literally shape how things come together in the world.

Marketers are creative and intuitive thinkers who know what makes most people tick. They are expert strategists and communicators who work well in a team environment and under tight deadlines.
