SOUTH WHITLEY — The welding technology program at Whitko High School continues dual-credit status with Ivy Tech Community College.

Students enrolled in welding technology classes have the opportunity to earn college credit while they are in high school. These credits are valid for Ivy Tech Community College and can be transferred to any state-accredited college in Indiana such as Ball State University, Indiana State University and Purdue University. These credits are available free of charge to those students that meet the eligibility requirements.

This is a great way to jump-start a post-secondary education. This is also an awesome opportunity for any student looking to pursue a career in any welding-related industry including advanced manufacturing, industrial maintenance, and auto body collision and repair.
