Why Become A Patron Sponsor

The strength of our buildings, bridges, automobiles, cruise ships, aircraft, space vehicles, hydroelectric and nuclear power plant, and many, many other product depend on skilled knowledgeable workers.

Demand from firms across North America has grown 10% in the past year.  The need for skilled workers will become more of a problem in the next 3 - 5 years as 50% of the welders in North America retire.

The welding industry is constantly producing new welding techniques.  Every year there are technological advances in this field. Today's technologies require knowledge of new materials, techniques and design strategies.  We must keep on top of the changes to stay ahead.

Due to advances through research and development, welding now includes metallurgy, ceramics, physics, engineering mechanics, lasers, thermal spraying, micro-joining and robotics.

Your support enables us to bring technological activities to our area to further educate those interested in pursuing a career and strengthening the knowledge of those professionals already in the welding industry.

1.) Recognition of your Patron Sponsorship on our web site
