Welding information, registration sessions set

IVCC’s Welding Department is hosting two welding registration sessions on February 11 and February 20 for spring classes that start March 17. All new welding students must register through a registration session.

The first session on February 11 is designed for new students to the welding program. It will take place in CTC-123 on the Main Campus from 5 to 7 p.m. The information session is located just down the hall from the Admissions Department, so prospective students can register and enroll all at once.

The second session on February 20 is designed for students that are already enrolled in welding but need to sign up for additional classes. It will be held in Building H, Room 101 on the Main Campus, from 10:45 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.

Sign up for a session by contacting the East Campus Administrative Assistant Patricia Glade at (815) 224-0265 or by emailing welding@ivcc.edu. Anyone unable to make these dates should contact Patricia.

No previous welding experience is necessary, and instructors work to find the best fit for students at whatever stage they enter the program. Students receive individualized instruction in small classes and use state-of-the-art welding equipment and a large lab and fabrication area.

Flexible class schedules make it convenient for students with all types of commitments to attend.

Welding graduates have the opportunity to join the local workforce, in industries ranging from vehicle manufacturing and fabricated metal product manufacturing to machine shops, agriculture, construction, and mining.
