Colleges offer diploma certificates up to an Associate’s degree of welding. SCC Lincoln offers a program that is 2 to 4 years. Students that have recently graduated from SCC Lincoln report an average starting wage of $17.95 an hour. This program teaches basic engineering and technical skills. Welders need these skills to resolve production problems in manufacturing products. There are many other schools in Nebraska offering welding programs including; Central Community College in Columbus, Grand Island, and Hastings, Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, Mid-Plains Community College in North Platte and McCook, and Northeast Community College in Norfolk. The programs in Nebraska offer either a diploma certificate up to an Associate's
