ADD SPARK TO YOUR CAREER
Welding is the process of applying heat to join metal parts to form a permanent bond. Welding is used to build and repair cars, build bridges and other structures, and join pipes in pipelines, power plants, and refineries. Automated welding is used in an increasing number of production processes. A machine or robot performs the welding tasks while being monitored by a welding machine operator. Persons with bachelor’s degrees can become Welding Engineers.
Two out of every three welding jobs are in the manufacturing industry. The demand for welders is currently increasing in the construction, manufacturing, and utility industries.
