Some of life's toughest questions revolve around career and work. The answers look different for everyone, and no matter what direction they take you, exploring your options is important. Whether you're entering the workforce or ready to shift gears and try something new, the dynamic world of welding might be the industry for you!
Welding is not just a job; it's a certified pathway to a rewarding future. The Government of Canada predicts that 17,700 more welding jobs will become available in the next 10 years, meaning there has never been a more opportune time to become a welder. In Ontario alone, welders can make up to about $36 per hour, with advanced specializations allowing for greater financial benefits.
Of course, to do all that, you'll need to enrol in a quality welding program.
