Welders and Welding Technicians

With the help of a teacher or a guidance counselor, students may be able to arrange to visit a workplace where they can observe welders or welding machine operators on the job. Ideally, such a visit can provide a chance to see several welding processes and various kinds of welding work and working conditions, as well as an opportunity to talk with welders about their work. Another way to explore this field is by visiting the Web sites of trade associations, such as the American Welding Society.
