Certificate of Achievement- Metal Fabrication Technology

The Certificate of Achievement will prepare students for an entry-level position as a trainee in metal layout, fabrication, welding and installation. This certificate will place added emphasis on CNC metal fabrication, design, welding and advance manufacturing techniques and help prepare the student for acceptance into apprenticeship in one of the metalworking trades. 

• Perform a common sheet metal layout and fabrication project

• Perform common metal fabrication using power machinery to produce a fabrication project.

• Design and fabricate an advanced sheet metal project involving two different pieces of CNC fabrication equipment.

10-15 annually

The Metal Fabrication Technology program’s mission is to provide technical training to meet the demands of the industry and the needs of the individual to demonstrate entry level skills necessary for employment.
