Industrial Welding Technology

Welding is a process found in every major industry including all phases of construction and manufacturing. It's an increasingly high-tech skills, with welders trained to operate automated systems that use lasers and electron beams to bond metals.

Jobs in the welding industry range from basic welder, cutter, solderer and brazer positions to advanced sheet-metal and structural metal workers, boilermakers, commercial divers, certified welding inspectors, engineers, technicians, managers/supervisors and more.

Starting pay for most welding jobs is also basic, but the potential to earn grows with experience and certification.
