Program ObjectivesProgram Overview:• Assist in create qualified welders in less time

• Increase welding understanding and knowledge quicker

• Be more effective in creating welders • Increase the number of welders able to achieve passable welds

• Reduce the concerns of classroom management • Decrease distractions by keeping welders focused on improving skills

• Use cost effective welding training tools • Quality training tools designed for educational budgets and skills gap

needs

• Decrease high school drop-out rates• With more course interest students have greater involvement




WELDING TRENDS = SKILLS GAP2013 & BEYOND

• Agriculture Equipment• Highway Infrastructure• Rail Transportation• Energy Production• Petro-Chemical Industry

Five Welding Growth Areas:The Industry Facts:• Fabrication & Construction

industries need 450,000 welders to fulfill demand

• Welders are retiring at twice the pace of new welders coming into the field, the average welder today is in his/her mid to upper-50’s and nearing retirement.

• According to a study by the National Association of Manufacturers found that 81% of manufacturers polled report they can’t find the skilled workers.
