      "markdown": "Successful completion of the curriculum in Welding provides students with employable skills in commercial and industrial welding processes. Students are trained to pass industry recognized welding performance testing. Industry-recognized Welder Qualification Test Records are given to those who pass the performance tests. A certificate is designed to provide career technical skills; it is not equivalent to an associate degree."
