Career Opportunities
Trained Welders are often in high demand in manufacturing and repair shops, in construction firms, within the shipbuilding and aerospace industries, and in power plants, refineries and many other industries and sectors.
Because many welding skills are the same across industries, welders often find it easy to move from one industry to another, depending upon their interests and the current job market.
