Space Available in Randolph Community College Continuing Education Welding Courses This Fall

The demand for welders in industries such as construction, aviation, and manufacturing remains strong in 2013, and Randolph Community College’s Curriculum Welding program has attracted many students this fall. But there are still spaces in RCC’s short-term, Continuing Education Welding courses, according to Lisa Bock, director of the Archdale Center.
           
“For the student who wants to explore welding as a career option, these courses are great introductions,” said Bock. “And for people who need to weld on their farms or in conjunction with avocations or current employment, these courses are great for enhancing skills and building credentials.”
          
“Basic Welding” is being offered at both the Asheboro Campus and Archdale Center on Saturdays, Aug. 31 - Oct. 5. The Asheboro course will meet from 8 a.m.-12 noon; and Archdale will offer two classes during these dates—the first from 8 a.m.-12 noon and the second from 1-5 p.m. Students will learn the basic principles, concepts, and procedures of welding using electrical arc welding and oxyacetylene welding equipment. Students also will be introduced to MIG and TIG welding. This class will also be offered again later in the semester at Archdale, on Saturdays, from 8 a.m.-12 noon, Oct. 12 - Nov. 16. Tuition is $70, plus $26.25 for supplies.
