Central Lakes College

Central Lakes College offers Welding and Fabrication training at the Brainerd campus through a 42-credit diploma and a 60-credit Associate of Applied Science. Both pathways emphasize concentrated shop practice in Stick, MIG, TIG, welding and cutting safety, blueprint reading, metallurgy, welding theory, qualification work, and fabrication. The college reports that 90% of class time is spent practicing in the welding lab; the associate pathway adds general education and leadership-oriented problem-solving and job-planning skills.
