Welders and Welding Technicians

Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits

Most employers prefer to hire welding professionals who have completed postsecondary training or an apprenticeship program. 

Welders and welding technicians should be in good enough physical condition to bend, stoop, and work in awkward positions. They also need manual dexterity, good eye-hand coordination, and good eyesight, as well as patience and the ability to concentrate for extended periods as they work on a task.
