It’s difficult to imagine what the world would look like without the expertise of welders. Their skills are essential in creating and repairing the complex machinery, vehicles, and infrastructure that keeps our society running. With welders always in demand for a variety of projects, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates there will be more than 42,000 openings for welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers each year over this decade. Northwest College offers five different programs for those interested in joining this in-demand profession, including Welding Robotics Technology, Welding Technology, Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), and Advanced Welding. All of them provide instruction in the latest methods and techniques, setting you on the right path for a career in a versatile trade, and one of our country’s most critical professions.
