Tigers to Titans Welding Program: Students in Action
Tigers to Titans Welding Program: Students in Action
A group of 15 Cocoa High School students is working at Eastern Florida State College as part of Brevard Public Schools’ Tigers to Titans dual enrollment CTE welding program, gaining hands-on experience in a high-demand trade.
The brand-new program is a key addition to Brevard Public Schools’ CTE offerings and provides students the opportunity to train with industry-standard tools, learn real-world welding techniques, earn both a high school diploma and a welding career certificate, and be eligible for immediate employment upon graduation.
Students are preparing for careers in aerospace, engineering, and advanced manufacturing in Brevard County, where skilled welders are in high demand.
During a recent visit, Superintendent Dr. Mark Rendell got a firsthand look at the program and suited up to try welding alongside the students.
Partners include Eastern Florida State College, CareerSource Brevard, Flagler Volusia, Knight's Armament Company, and Brevard Schools Foundation for their support of the program.
