    TVCC Welding Certificate Program

    TVCC Welding Certificate Program

    In partnership with Treasure Valley Community College (TVCC), Ontario High School (OHS) will be participating in the pilot of a new Welding Program which will provide selected high school students the opportunity to take college level welding courses at TVCC as part of their high school schedule. The program will take students two years to complete but in doing so, students will be able to graduate high school with a Career Pathways Certificate in welding and may have the opportunity to complete additional certifications while in the program. OHS will cover the cost of the program but students will be required to pay a nominal fee to cover the cost of gloves, goggles and welding jacket.
    This program is college level work and therefore has higher expectations than many students are accustomed to. In order to produce the quality of work required to pass, students must not miss class and must be ready to practice their skills outside of class whenever possible.
