including a minimum of 1500 hours of on-the-job training and 8 weeks of
technical training each during each year.
Employment and Advancement
Welders are employed in a variety of industries including vessel or structural
steel assembly, pipeline construction, commercial construction, industrial

prospects for welders change with seasonal and economic climates.
Journeyperson wage rates vary, but generally range from $25 to $40 an hour plus
