2014 Welding Education, Skills & Certifications

A virtual conference is a video recording of a live conference presented in a high-quality, on-demand format that can accessed at any time, from anywhere with an internet connection. Virtual conferences offer the flexibility to watch educational presentations at your schedule and pace, and from the comfort of your home or office.

This conference brought together educational leaders to discuss how institutions can be integrated into the future of welding workforce training and employment. The American Welding Society and leaders from industry’s most respected employers and labor experts–including Siemens, Lincoln, Iron Workers and UA–helped attendees gain new insights, exchange ideas, and solve problems specific to their technical programs and local needs. The event was held at Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis, Indiana from July 23rd through July 25th, 2014.

The Welding Education, Skills, and Certifications Conference is ideal for technical program directors, community college program managers, corporate trainers, high school welding lab instructors, state policymakers, veterans advocates, and others responsible for educating the next generation of welders and welding professionals.
