Skilled welders and metal fabricators can get a number of good jobs that pay very well. 

In Arkansas, welders have an earning potential of up to $20.00 per hour.

Large industrial firms need welders to perform maintenance on equipment or work in their manufacturing processes.  Welding and metal fabrication companies hire many welders, and construction and pipeline contractors always need good welders.  Opportunities also exist for the self-employed welder.

Upon completion of our Welding Technology program, you will be eligible to take the American Welding Society Certification exam to become a certified welder.  This certification can be a big help in getting a job with certain types of employers - usually at high wages.  Our graduates find jobs as oxy-fuel welders, fitters, arc welders, combination welders/fitters, pipe welders, and TIG welders.
