Valencia College - Accelerated Skills Training

There are THREE upcoming Welding Technology program start dates in June... wait, no, that's not quite right. Oh, we know now, there are three upcoming Welding Technology with ORBITAL SPECIALIZATION program start dates coming in June, a crucial style of welding for space travel and Florida's Space Coast.

The welding program we all know and love is adding orbital specialization where students will experience hands-on training in the in-demand automated form (which needs plenty of human oversight to setup, calibrate and more) of welding that increases accuracy and weld integrity.

It’s not only what you learn in a program that puts you in a position to make a difference in your industry, it’s the community you build like these Clinical Medical Assistant + EKG graduates and their instructor.

It helps students understand how to succeed in their careers, and that they always have support on their journeys!

Happy International Day of Light! Light plays a critical role in everyday life and harnessing that light is crucial to the work of optics.

Students in the Precision Optics, Photonics, and Fiber Optics Technician Program learn how light-based technologies revolutionize industries like medicine, communications, national defense and so much more.

We were honored to host leaders from across Osceola County through The Osceola Chamber Leadership Osceola program at Valencia College’s Osceola Campus.

Professionals representing healthcare, IT, energy, education, and financial industries toured our Advanced Manufacturing labs within the Accelerated Skills Training department, along with our Engineering labs, to see firsthand how Valencia is preparing the next generation of skilled technicians and engineers. ⚙️🔧📚

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this exciting opportunity to showcase the innovation, talent, and workforce development happening right here in Osceola County!

Thank you to the incredible team at L3Harris Technologies for taking the time to tour our Advanced Manufacturing & Engineering labs last Friday! 🔧🚀

Connecting with leaders in aerospace, defense, and intelligence systems helps ensure our programs stay aligned with industry needs and future workforce demands.

This is how we build tomorrow’s workforce for the Space Coast!

A very important part of the student experience is career placement. With that comes incredible opportunities for employers to join career fairs on campus to connect with students, and the next opportunity to do so is coming up on Friday, May 29!
