@azza44100 The director of our welding department here at Penn College commends your intention to attend college for welding. We certainly hope you consider our welding majors. You could visit our welding facility during our Open House on March 26! Your education and welding experiences in college will expose you to career opportunities and help chart your future. If you're curious now about various welding jobs, the American Welding Society would be a good resource. Hope this helps!

To those of you thinking of attending Penn College for welding, I highly recommend it. Dave Cotner trained me when he was working for one of the forerunners of the fabrication industry. The skills i learned from him opened the door to a long and prosperous career.
