A bright future for skilled welders

It is important to point out that many of the industries that employ welders are becoming more technologically sophisticated in their efforts to increase productivity and remain competitive in the global market. Consequently, the future pool of workers will likely be smaller, smarter and more adaptable. In other words, to succeed in the coming decades, you don’t just need to be trained and then a few years later retrained. You need to demonstrate a continuous improvement in your education. The main skill you need is the skill to learn more skills.

Even now there are many welding jobs going unfilled because employers can’t find workers with the right skills. People are beginning to realise the career benefits welding offers, but jump into the industry without fully realising how to make those possibilities a reality. As a consequence, they add to the bulk of unskilled workers that are unable to find employment in an increasingly diverse and innovative field.
