Welding
Welding is widely used by metalworkers in the fabrication, maintenance, and repair of parts and structures. The job market for skilled welders is booming. With many of the current welders due to retire, the demand for new skilled welders is exploding. Welding is a trade that offers many opportunities – working in oil and gas fields, refineries, factories, small businesses, arts and crafts, or operating your own welding business. Welding employment opportunities are diverse and skilled welders can choose from a variety of openings both nationally and internationally.
Georgian offers a variety of welding courses that cover such topics as:
- MIG welding
- Ornamental welding
- ARC welding
Introductory courses are also available. Courses include both theory and hands-on instruction.
