Welding Diploma Program

Provided by HoHoKus School of Trades and Technical Sciences

Welding is more than just joining two pieces of metal together. It’s considered an art by those in the field and is an important part of any major construction project. You’ll train in all phases of combination welding and code certification requirements, including electric arc, TIG, MIG, metal theory, oxy-fuel practice, and mild steel and plasma arc cutting.” Over the next 10 years, 200,000 to 225,000 welders are going to be needed. This is an industry that is not going to go away,” says John Mendoza, president of the 68,000-member American Welding Society.
