WELDING
The Jones County Junior College Advanced Metalworking Center of Excellence in Welding offers a nine-month course designed to prepare the student to enter the labor market upon successful completion. Welding theory, electrode classification and identification, blueprint reading and welding symbol interpretation, plasma and oxyacetylene cutting, and shop safety are stressed.
A 2007 survey conducted by the Mississippi Manufacturer’s Association revealed that south Mississippi will need more than 2,000 welders over the next five years. Career opportunities in welding are highly diverse and challenging. JCJC’s Advanced Metalworking Center of Excellence is located in Ellisville, Mississippi and provides training in welding for students. Courses are designed to meet American Welding Society (AWS) standards.
The course will begin with elementary welding procedures and progress through advanced techniques. In the more advanced courses, the student is taught the use of the Metal Inert Gas (M.I.G.) Aluminum Welding and the Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (T.I.G.) on aluminum and stainless steel for special welding purposes.
