WeldingSlide2

nature OF WORK

- Welders, cutters,

solderers

, and

brazers

held about 337,300 jobs in

2010

-Welders will either work outdoors or in a confined space to contain sparks.

- They wear safety shoes, goggles, masks with protective lenses, and other equipment to protect from burns and falling objects.

- The

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that welders work in safely ventilated areas to avoid danger from inhaling gases and fine particles that can result from welding processes

.

- Most welders work full time jobs and overtime is common. The shifts range from 8 to 12 hours Slide3

Education and training needed

-Formal

training is available in high school technical education courses and in postsecondary institutions, such as vocational-technical institutes, community

colleges

, and private welding, soldering, and brazing schools

.

-

The army also offers welding and

sodering

schools.

- Some

employers are willing to hire inexperienced entry-level workers and train them on the job, but many prefer to hire workers who have been through formal training programs

.

- An

understanding of electricity also is helpful, and knowledge of computers is gaining importance as welding, soldering, and brazing machine operators become more responsible for programming robots and other computer-controlled machines

.

- Because

understanding the welding process and inspecting welds is important for both welders and welding machine operators, companies hiring machine operators prefer workers with a background in welding.Slide4

Other qualifications necessary

-Some welding positions require general certification in welding or certification in specific skills, such as inspection or robotic welding

.

The

ability to endure long periods of standing or repetitious movements is important for welders, cutters,

solderers

, and

brazers

.

- Welders

, cutters,

solderers

, and

brazers

must have a steady hand to hold a torch in one place. Workers must also have good hand-eye coordination

.

- Welders

, cutters,

solderers

, and

brazers

must do precision work, often with straight edges and minimal flaws. Therefore, workers should have a keen eye for detail

.

- Welders

, cutters,

solderers

, and

brazers

must have the ability to detect cracked pieces of metal and be able to repair them. Slide5

Job outlook and future prospects

-Employment of welders, cutters, and

brazers

is expected to grow 15% from 2010-2020. which is about the average for all occupations.

-

Employment growth reflects the need for welders in manufacturing because of the importance and versatility of welding as a manufacturing process

.

-Skills of welders are the same. So they can easily shift from one industry to another depending on where they are needed most.

-Growth

of the defense industry, including the manufacturing of aircrafts and missiles, is expected to contribute to employment growth

.

- In

addition, the nation’s aging infrastructure will require the expertise of many welders, cutters,

solderers

, and

brazers

to rebuild bridges, highways, and buildings, resulting in some new jobs.Slide6

-The

median annual wage of welders, cutters,

solderers

and

brazers

was $35,450 in May 2010

.

-

The lowest 10 percent earned less than $

23,940

-

and the top 10 percent earned more than $53,690.

Potential earnings now and in the futureSlide7

-assemblers and fabricators.-Boiler makers.

- Jewelers and precious stone and metal workers.
