Do you want to become a professional welder and get a job?
The question you need to ask yourself is: which type of Welding is most in demand?
Yes, because if you want to have a lot of job opportunities, you must first understand what types of welding are most in demand in the job market.
Here's what our advice is: get in front of your PC and search online for available welder jobs, do the sums and you'll figure out which types of welders are most in demand by companies, so you can't go wrong.
Given our long experience in the field of metalworking and Welding Courses, almost half a century of company activity in metalworking, we feel we can say with certainty that the 3 most popular types of welding are:
Almost all companies use all 3, but they use one more than the other based on the metalworking sector in which they specialize, e.g., Carpentry companies use more Electrode and Continuous Wire, and Plant Engineering companies use more TIG and Electrode.
So a Carpentry company will have Continuous Wire and Electrode welders on staff for the most part, companies that build and assemble Plants have more TIG and Electrode welders.
According to our experience and statistics in recent years, if you have to choose only 1 type of welding to learn, we recommend Continuous Wire W elding or TIG Welding, which as individual types are the most popular.
If you can choose 2 types of welding to learn, then you will have twice the chance to work, and in this case we recommend the combination of TIG + Continuous Wire or TIG + Electrode.
Obviously if you have the time and the budget to take a course where you learn all 3 types of welding, you will have immense job chances, because you will be able to respond to almost any job offer, but above all, companies are very likely to offer a permanent contract right away, as only a few Welders are able to know how to weld with TIG + Electrode + Continuous Wire.
We emphasize that even with only one type of welding you will easily find work and get a good salary, it is clear, however, that by increasing to 2 or even 3 types of welding, you will have a better chance and earn a much higher salary.
Curiosity about welding?
The most widely used type of welding in the world is the Electrode, but it is not the one most in demand by companies that need to hire.
Then why is it the most widely used and widespread, because individuals and locksmiths use it for home or locksmith work, it is less used in industrial processes of companies.
Another variable to evaluate, are the materials and metals to be able to weld.
Welding metals is a widespread process, and each company can perform it through different processes and technologies depending on the type of work required. Welds will be both aesthetically different, have different characteristics, costs, and processing times.
Carbon Steel (vulgarly called Iron) is used for the most part in the world, so you absolutely have to start with that, but then you can specialize in more valuable materials such as Stainless Steel and Aluminum, which are also in high demand.
Obviously, the more materials you can weld, the more you will become an expert in your field, a professional who will be better paid than beginners with limited technical knowledge.
