The Welding Technology curriculum provides training in the field of commercial and industrial welding and fabrication. Students enrolled in Welding Technology courses will receive both the theoretical technical knowledge and the hands-on skills that will prepare them for a career in welding.

A.A. and A.S. degrees as well as certificates can be earned in the Welding Technology Program. The certificate program does not satisfy A.A. or A.S. degree requirements, but does qualify students for certificates in the chosen field of study.

Sierra College offers a state approved four year Machinist Apprenticeship program to become a journeyman machinist. This program requires that the student be employed and sponsored by a business, and have a signed apprenticeship agreement with the State of California Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Apprenticeship Standards. The program requires a minimum of 450 hours of classroom time and 8000 hours of on-the-job training under the guidance of a journeyman machinist.
