Welding: Where we started
• Agriculture Welding
• Teaching welding for agriculture or
personal use
• We were not offering a program to get
students ready to enter the workforce
• Equipment
•
5 GMAW Machines (non industry type machine)
•
2 Oxy Fuel units
•
20 Arch Welding Stations
• Located in Auto Shop
Economic Development Contact
• CloudCorp
•
Cloud County Economic
Development
• 1 year ago started dialogue
with ONE GOAL, bring a
welding program to our
community
• With 1 Requirement the
program had to get students
American Welding Society
Certified (Certified Welder)
Why the Need?
“It’s a great time to be a welder. Thanks to a
global boom in industrial manufacturing,
skilled welders are in greater demand than
ever. Companies can’t find enough of them.
Wall Street Journal
• Welding plays a key role in manufacturing, almost everything is welded!
• Manufacturing Challenge
•
There are more the 500,000 welders working in US.*
•
The average age of welders in today’s workforce is 54.*
•
It is estimated that there will be a shortage of more than 200,000 welders by 2010.*
•
This year, 50,000 welders will leave the industry while only 25,000 students begin
their welding education.*
• Local Needs 27 welding openings summer of 2011

Local Manufacturing
• Alstom
• Gerard Tank & Steel
• Sunflower Manufacturing
• Reinke Manufacturing Company
• Smaller Shops
Reinke Manufacturing
• CloudCorp and Reinke started
discussion about a welding program
• Currently Reinke has worked with 3
other high schools
• The program needed:
•
Instructor- certified or willing to get certified
•
Facility
•
Adult education opportunity with
Community College
• We could meet all their needs!
GMAC Welding Set-up
Tour of Facilities
• Visited three school facilities
•
Republic County High School
•
Fillmore Central High School
(Nebraska)
•
Deshler High School (Nebraska)
• Visited Reinke
Manufacturing
• This gave us ideas for our
Plans
Oxy Booth Set-up
Gas Supply Set-up
Develop Floor Plans
Electrical Modifications
• Needed 480v 3 Phase service, CTE
building only had 240v 3 Phase service
• Meeting with City inspector
•
Electrical Engineer Designed (required to
meet city building code)
• Prairie Land Electric installed three 480v
transformers on new poles along with
placing the new service on our existing
meter
• Installed a 480v service panel in CTE
Building; installed grounding and
bonding to the CTE Building
• Installed electrical service to eight new
welding booths
GMAW Booths
•
All Metal Donated and Cut by Alstom
•
Design was for a student and instructor to work inside one booth
•
Blueprints from Reinke, assembled by our students
Oxy Fuel Booths
•
All Metal Donated and Cut by Reinke
•
Design was for a student and instructor to work inside
one booth
•
Designed by our instructor, assembled by our
students
Airgas
• Current
Distributer
• Plumbing
•
•
GMAW booths
with drops
Oxy Fuel
Stations
Lincoln Welders
• Alstom uses Lincoln
• Leased Machines
• Change out every 6 months
• Installed and set-up
• Connect to iPad for CheckPoint
and Production Monitoring
Manufacturing Pathway
•
Program currently is part of:
•
•
Agriculture, Food, & Natural Resources-Power, Structural, & Technical Systems
• Agriculture Welding I,II, III, IV
Dialogue with Industry
•
•
•
•
Design program for what local industry needs
Manufacturing terminology needed
Agriculture titles removed
Process of Pathway Approval
•
Manufacturing- Production
• Introduction to Industrial Technology
• Blue Print Reading
• Introduction Welding
• Manufacturing Process
• Production Welding I
• Production Welding II
CCCC
• Cloud County Community College
•
Offer Production Welding Classes for College Credit
•
Night Adult Education Courses
•
•
Working together to start Welding Program Alignment Certificate A
•
•
Reinke will send employees for training courses
New courses would then be added
Our instructor will teach some of these night courses
