Maybe
you have been thinking about pursuing a career in Engineering,
Computers, Racing, or Aerospace? Or maybe you would like to
build skyscrapers? Welding skills can take you there. You can
ride welding skills toward a broad range of futures including
Teaching, Sales, Construction, Robotics, and many more. A career
in Welding can earn salaries ranging from $15 an hour all the
way up to $100 an hour and beyond.
The
Welding Classes at Minot High, taught by Ray
Helseth,
prepare students for entry level employment in a broad range
of production occupations. Students taking both Welding I and
Welding II classes will gain skills in reading blueprints, gas
welding, shielded metal arc, gas metal arc, flux cored arc,
gas tungsten arc welding, and plasma arc cutting.
Pictured
on the left: Many people believe that welding is a
guy thing, but who do you think went into the
shipyards to do the welding when the men went off
to W.W.II? Welding experts say that women sometimes
make better welders than men because their hands
are generally
steadier.

Each
year, the Minot Public School's Trades programs look
for community/nonprofit projects for their students
to complete as they use the knowledge and skills learned
throughout the year. Students will supply the labor.
All materials and supplies will be the requesting agency's
responsibility. Donations are appreciated and will be
used to fund student leaders and return the application.

- Welding I (2 credits): Train for an entry-level job in the welding industry. Students will learn basic skills practicing gas and shielded metal arc welding, oxy-fuel cutting and brazing on sheet metal. Technical information about the welding trade such as applied math, blue print reading and symbols, safety, and general construction will be integrated into the curriculum. Workplace readiness skills will also be addressed. Coveralls of 100% cotton and safety glasses are required to protect students and meet safety standards. (Open to grades
11 & 12).
1718
- Welding II (2 credits): Further your skills in advanced welding. In addition to gas and shielded metal arc welding, students will practice gas tungsten arc welding and complete an industry bend test in each process. Constructing community projects and advanced print reading will be a part of the course. Students interested in manufacturing, energy, transportation, and construction careers, would benefit from this class. (Prerequisite-1717 Welding I) Coveralls of 100% cotton and safety glasses are required to protect students and meet safety standards. (Open to grade 12).
1751
- Internship for Trades Education (Summer Only) (1/2
credit): Intern at a regularly-scheduled, supervised employment opportunity related to Trade and Industrial Occupations in order to develop and improve work skills. A specific training plan with the employer will be developed for each student consistent with the student’s occupational goals. On-site visits by the instructor will take place during the student’s placement. (Prerequisite: 1715 Construction, 1717 Welding, 1719 Auto Technology, 1720 Auto Collision; plus instructor approval.) (Open to grade 12)
