SCTC Features Metal Fabrication Program
Simpson County Technical Center (SCTC) is pleased to feature its metal fabrication program, a two-year program designed to introduce students to the diverse world of metalworking.
Students enrolled in the metal fabrication program at SCTC are introduced to the basic machining and metalworking processes, as well as the basic welding profession. At SCTC, students get hands-on experience in an in-school shop, which features state-of-the-art equipment and replicates an industrial environment. The purpose of the metal fabrication courses is to prepare students to continue study in a postsecondary metals program – welding or machine tool operation – or to begin entry-level work in a metal occupation.
In addition to earning two credits toward graduation, students in the program can also earn a National Center for Construction Education and Research certification, which means the holder is highly trained, knowledgeable and qualified to do the job anywhere in the country. Students also have the opportunity to earn certification from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, which validates skills in advanced manufacturing. It showcases dedication to the professional field, highlighting education and training, and endorses capabilities as a machinist or specialist.
