“Welding is a great trade, and also one in high demand. This competition gives students from around the country an opportunity to not only hone their craft but also explore how to kick-start a high-paying career. Since 1994, this school has been producing some of the most highly skilled welding craftsmen and placing them in a range of exciting careers all over the world.”
