Becoming a welder typically starts with technical training, which combines hands-on experience with classroom learning, allowing individuals to gain practical skills quickly. Training programs last about 6 to 18 months, depending on the depth of the curriculum. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 402,333 welders nationwide, with a significant number in various regions, and projects a 2-3% job growth from 2022 to 2032. Apprentices earn an average of $50 per hour in Minnesota, with an annual overtime average of $2,600. Trade schools, community colleges, and platforms like the AWS Foundation help aspiring welders find training opportunities, leading to a career with strong earning potential—often exceeding $45,000 annually for experienced professionals.
