Why Welder?

Welding is a dynamic industry with a big future! Anything made of metal, no matter how big or small, can be welded. Examples are everywhere, from vehicles like cars, trucks and motorcycles to rail cars, ships, aircraft, rockets and space stations. Construction is a huge market, and skyscrapers, bridges and highways would be impossible to build without welding, as would oil and natural-gas pipelines, offshore oil platforms, giant wind turbines and solar panels. Welders help install and maintain boilers, antipollution systems and other large structures, as well as piping for industrial, commercial and residential facilities. Welding is even used by artists to create sculptures and decorative items. There is almost no limit to what welding can do, especially since developments in the technology continually improve its accuracy, quality and versatility. 

Some people are almost born into welding. It’s part of them. Maybe you grew up on a farm, where there is always something to build or repair. Or maybe your dad does construction, works in a factory or messes around with cars.

"When I was a kid, I was curious about my father's work and then I started thinking what I want to- that is to become a Tig Welder'. My father is Renato C. Torres a Tig Welder. He had many experiences abroad and like him I want to have certificate that I can be proud of. I'm interested to learn what he's doing."

Welding is, in fact, an increasingly high-tech skill. The training at a technical school is geared to where you want to go. For instance, there’s a five-month program for guys and girls interested in structural welding and fabrication. And there’s a nine-month program for pipe welding.
