POTENTIAL CAREER OPTIONS

Combination Welder

Combination Welders work in a large range of industries, from manufacturing to construction to car racing. Using electrical currents to create heat, they bond metal together using one of more than 100 different processes. The type of weld used is determined by the materials being joined, the application it will be used for and the conditions in which the welding will take place.

Cutters

Instead of welding things togethers, Cutters take things apart using heat from an electric arc and a stream of plasma. They cut and trim metal objects to specific dimensions and their cutting machines are very similar to those used by welding machine operators. Cutters can also dismantle large objects such as automobiles, train cars, aircraft, buildings and more.

Solderers and Brazers

Like Welders, Solderers and Brazers use heat to join metal objects together. The difference between the two is the temperature used to meld the material. It is lower when soldering, using metals with a melting point that is below 840 degrees Fahrenheit. Brazing requires metals with a higher melting point.

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

The reason why I chose STVT was, of course, like anybody else - to benefit my future and to work hard for my children. It appealed to me because I was able to work hands-on and that's the kind of learner I am.

Maria "Crystal" E., Combination Welding Graduate

I did see that my instructor was very dedicated on us learning. And I've always felt that that is something that I've always wanted to do no matter whatever situation I was in. And so, going out there in the field, I did feel that what I learned here is something that I was able to put out there in the workplace.

Maria “Crystal” Esquivel, Comb. Welding Grad., May 2017, San Antonio Campus

Career Services was outstanding at STVT. The school has a good rapport with a lot of these companies – so these companies are more often willing to work with the school and to take on students because they know the quality of education that we receive here at STVT.
