Manufacturing, Welding, Construction,
and Transportation Careers

Careers in this field—ranging from sheet metal work, CNC machining, welding, and metal fabrication to pipe fitting, rigging, carpentry, production, assembly, and manufacturing—offer hands-on experience rather than desk work, allowing you to help create advanced products such as submarines, aerospace components, and more. 

Tourtellotte Memorial High School is proud of have a state-of-the-art Welding shop thanks to our partnership with General Dynamics Electric Boat. Would you like to learn more? Visit Mr. Joyce in the Manufacturing/Welding Shop or talk with Mrs. Steglitz in Guidance to find out how to sign up for classes.
