Justin obtained his Associate of Applied Science Degree General
Technology - Welding by attending night classes at ANC while working during the
day. This was no easy task some of the classes that were covered such as
Blueprint reading: which provides the students with an entry level ability to
interpret blueprints and AWS symbols that will be used on all job sites and
shops; Oxygen/Acetylene: student learn the proper/safe way to setup and operate
manual cutting equipment, pipe bevellers and semi-automatic tract torches; Shielded
Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) Pipe: this course provide students the required
knowledge to prepare, fit, and weld pipe in 2G, 5G, and 6G positions. This is a valuable and required skill to
obtain employment in the growing pipe industry.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding prepares students to weld on
stainless, carbon steel and aluminum. This process requires good eye/hand
coordination. Many companies require welders to have experience in GTAW and
SMAW processes to weld on piping projects for chemical, Petro Chemical and
Power Plant industries (including Nuclear) and food processing facilities.
SMAW Complete
Joint Penetration & Partial Joint Penetration prepare
the student for career in the structural welding field. Students will become
proficient using E6010 and E7018 electrodes in all positions. GMAW and FCAW: Prepares students to obtain employment in production
weld shops. These processes are used in fabrication shops around the
country. Tank fabrication, heat
exchangers and off shore platforms are just some of the jobs that require these
skills for fabrication.
Justin had his plate full with his course load as well as
his work load at Bronco. Upon successful completion
of his degree, Justin completed four pipe welding tests in Baton Rouge to
obtain his current employment just on the south side of Chicago at JVIC with a
very nice salary. Justin is excited about traveling and working.
“At ANC, I was able to obtain a welding degree which has
jump started my career. I
want to give thanks to an awesome instructor, Brent Carroll, who took the extra
time to teach me all he could about the career and life of a welder. I learned
enough at the start of my degree to get a local job at the steel mill as a
structural welder. After graduation, I worked a few more local jobs to
gain experience, and now I travel around the Nation working for different
companies as a specialty pipe welder. ANC got me started off on the right
track." #weldlife - Justin Deaver
