Welding is the process of joining together two pieces of metal so that bonding takes place at their original boundary surfaces. Welding is used in the construction and repair of many thousands of manufactured products. The Welding Technology (WDT) Program at Wallace Community College Selma provides students with the technical skills necessary to enter the construction, manufacturing,and repair industries. WDT students attain hands- on experience in a variety of welding processes used by various industries in the fabrication and repair of steel components. Through practical exercises which are designed to be as realistic as possible and representative of actual world-of-work experiences, WDT students learn to use much different cutting and joining processes. The program offers a certificate in Structural Welding as well as a more specialized certificate in Pipe Welding which permits a student to apply for more competitive pipe welding positions found in heavy industries such as refineries and off-shore drilling rigs.

The Medical Transcription Option is designed to prepare students to become medical transcriptionists for various medical and health facilities. The medical transcriptionist has long been an important member of the healthcare team. It is the responsibility of the transcriptionist to put the doctor’s thoughts and findings of a patient onto paper accurately and efficiently. Medical transcriptionists must be able to type from the spoken word quickly and accurately, demonstrate advanced proofreading and editing skills, have knowledge of anatomy and medical terminology, and be proficient in English grammar.
As the population increases, there are more medical and health facilities that generate more and more medical records. Clinics, health services, hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other medical organizations are expanding their patient load facilities, resulting in a need for more medical transcriptionists.
