Partnership in Education & Training on Oregon's South Coast
Almost half of the nation’s welding workforce is retiring. This will create a large demand for new skilled welders.
Welding and fabrication is needed in shipyards, construction, automotive plants, manufacturing and various other industries. These jobs require a high level of skill, are high paying and offer opportunities worldwide.
