Becoming a welder typically starts with technical training, which combines hands-on experience with classroom learning, allowing individuals to earn while they learn. Technical training programs last about 6 to 18 months, requiring many hours of training under experienced welders. The American Welding Society reports approximately 771,000 welders nationwide, with a significant presence in Trenton, NJ, and projects a steady job growth from 2025 to 2029. Trainees earn an average of $50 per hour in Trenton, with an annual overtime average of $2,600. Trade schools, unions, and platforms like AWS help aspiring welders find training opportunities, leading to a career with strong earning potential—often exceeding $45,000 annually for experienced professionals.
