Becoming a welder typically starts with technical training, which combines hands-on experience with classroom learning, allowing individuals to earn while they learn. Training programs last about 6 to 18 months, depending on the level of certification. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 402,333 welders nationwide, with an estimated 3,000 in Idaho, and projects a 2-3% job growth from 2022 to 2032. Apprentices earn an average of $1,020 per week in Idaho, with an annual overtime average of $4,800. Trade schools, unions, and platforms like the American Welding Society help aspiring welders find training opportunities, leading to a career with strong earning potential—often exceeding $60,000 annually for experienced professionals.
