One nonwelder's advice to a new welder
The Welder
My nephew DJ asked for and received a little welding power source for Christmas. I don't know much about it except that it’s a Hobart Brothers MIG machine. To my knowledge, DJ has never welded before, but he does have interest in working with his hands and possibly going to tech school after graduation. He's only a freshman in high school, so a lot can change in three and a half years, but DJ is a hard worker and likes building, fixing and tinkering.

Welding contest introduces real world of industry
Joplin Globe
Things got difficult after lunch for Nevada’s team of welders. Brock Morrison, Koby Chadd and Gavin Cox, students at Nevada Regional Tech Center, competed Wednesday against four other teams to build a park bench with a back that could also be converted into a picnic table. Once they got back from a lunch break, the pieces they had earlier welded and fabricated weren’t fitting together like they should. But some solutions they had picked up from living lives on farms helped them complete their task, and they were the first group to finish.

The upside of connecting with local welding programs
The Fabricator

What do they have to do to find the right skilled workers willing to work for the wages and benefits being offered? It's even a more daunting challenge considering that many in the labor pool have no real knowledge of manufacturing.
