I attended parkway as my education not a job, my teacher treated like a job/real shop and taught us lots of valuable information. We worked on things such as...

• Fabricated metal components using welding techniques such as MIG, Stick, Flux Core, and Oxy-Acetylene welding.
• Repaired broken or cracked parts by welding them back together.
• Inspected welds for quality assurance purposes to ensure adherence to standards through bend tests.
• Cut materials with plasma cutters, oxy-acetylene torches or mechanical shears according to specifications.
• Set up and operated rollers, presses, brakes, drills, punch press machines to shape metal pieces prior to welding.
• Performed regular housekeeping duties such as cleaning tools and equipment after use.
• Participated in team meetings to discuss best practices for fabrication processes.
• Checked cut length frequently for deviation in cut length specs.
• Maintained clean and organized work environment to ensure safety and productivity.
• Prepared workpiece edges by grinding, cutting, buffing or bending to verify snug fit.
• Welded fabrication materials, continuously checking for safety and quality.
• Adjusted weld machines to correct settings for precision and waste reduction.
• Positioned and clamped workpieces together and properly assembled in jigs and fixtures.
• Produced work using appropriate welding techniques, metallurgy knowledge and engineering requirements.
• Safely ignited torches and monitored surroundings to proactively identify hazards.
• Cut, contoured and beveled metal and structural shapes to achieve accurate dimensions.
• Aligned and clamped workpieces using rules, squares or hand tools.
• Welded components in flat, vertical, or overhead positions.
• Determined equipment and welding methods, applying knowledge of metallurgy, geometry and welding techniques.
• Measured workpieces with straightedges or templates to conform with specifications.
• Selected and installed torches, filler rods and flux according to welding chart specifications.
• Prepared material surfaces for welding by removing scale, rust or other foreign matter.
• Melted and applied solder along adjoining edges of workpieces to solder joints.
• Recognized, set up, and operated shielded metal arc and gas metal arc welding equipment.
• Minimal blueprint reading and creating
• Interpret welding symbol information
