View on provider's websiteWelding is the most common way of permanently joining metal. Because of its strength, welding is used to build and repair a myriad of products, from pipelines and power plants to ships and spacecraft. Job opportunities are on the rise as the demand for highly trained welders increases with industries throughout the world. Welders plan the sequence of operations and select the equipment to be used according to the kinds of metals involved and the type of weld to be made. The Welding program is designed to provide skill development in currently used welding processes including brazing, soldering, shielded metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, resistance spot welding, gas metal arc welding and flux core arc welding. Additionally, skill development also includes oxy-fuel cutting, air carbon arc cutting, and plasma cutting. This program prepares students to take the certification exams reflecting the structural codes and standards set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME 9), American Welding Society (AWS), and the National Center for Construction Education & Research (NCCER). Students seeking this degree will need to choose between construction/pipe welding trades or an industrial maintenance equipment specialty. Welders work all shifts, some overtime, indoors and outdoors, often welding in awkward positions. Welders enjoy working with their hands and enjoy the sense of accomplishment from building objects.

View on provider's websiteThe need for heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration exists all over. Cooling and heating devices help regulate the temperature, humidity, and air quality in residential homes, commercial locations, and industrial facilities. Many items like food and medicine require refrigeration to keep them from spoiling. Technicians carry out repairs, maintenance, and installations of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems. As these systems are often called HVACR systems, workers are often referred to as HVACR technicians.
Frequently technicians will pick an area of specialization, be it in installation or maintenance and repair, though they are typically trained in both areas. A few technicians work solely with one type of device such as an oil burner, solar panel, or commercial refrigerator. Contracting businesses, manufacturers, and wholesalers often employ technicians. Technicians employed by smaller companies often install and maintain all types of systems.

View on provider's websiteHealthcare Documentation, formerly Medical Transcription, is one of the fastest growing home-based professions in the country. The demand for qualified healthcare documentation specialists continues to accelerate, creating unprecedented financial and career opportunities for people who have the skills to succeed in a fast-paced environment.
A healthcare documentation specialist listens to a voice recording or face-to-face information (medical scribe) made by a doctor or other healthcare professional and either transcribes the information into a captured electronic medical record, or reviews and edits a version produced by a voice recognition technology software program for the record. The reports produced become part of the legal medical record, and include medical histories, discharge summaries, physical examination reports, operating room reports, diagnostic imaging studies, consultation reports, autopsy reports, and other documents. These reports are important because they serve as the foundation for ongoing clinical decision-making, continuity of care, maximized reimbursement, and risk management.
