Welding is playing an important role in the
expansion and production of our industrial society. Over 50% of our GNP is
directly or indirectly a result of welding technology. Without welding,
industry and construction would never be able to meet consumer demands for
new and better products. New products require new techniques. Traditional
welding methods and training cannot meet this increased demand, and because
of this, new welding processes have been developed. Presently, there are
more than fifty welding processes being used in the industry. With each new
process that is developed, there is a corresponding need for additional
well-trained and well-qualified workers.
Welding is an emerging career with many
opportunities. Are you ready to take your place in this well-paying and
interesting field? |
