At its core, welding is the process of joining metal pieces together, and it’s a large component of the construction, machinery and automaker industries, according to Education-Portal.com.
But that’s just scratching the surface, according to the site, because when you enroll in a welding school, you’ll actually be studying a lot more than that: “Required classes may include advanced mathematics, metallurgy, blueprint reading, welding symbols, pipe layout and a welding practicum.”
Many welding schools offer training in a variety of skill sets, including brazing, bronzing, casting, soldering and more, Education-Portal.com notes.
And with an education in welding, the applications and job possibilities are wide open. “Possible careers include welding inspector, welding fabricator, welding sales representative, welding educator, supervisor, welding engineer and foreman,” the site says.
Moreover, opportunities for travel abound, as you may be called to work on diverse projects (bridges, factories, even rockets) in all kinds of locales.
If this sounds like an exciting career path, find out what the Midlands Technical College Center for Advanced Welding Technologies can offer you. Call (803) 732-0432, or visit http://www.mtctraining.com/welding/ for more information.
