i have chosen a welder as my career choice it is a part of the trades

what they do

soma3307 — 2025-04-28 12:14:16 UTC

They use heat to fuse metal together to create a strong bond

physical work conditions

soma3307 — 2025-04-28 12:18:30 UTC

They are either working in a shop or outside in the heat, it can be very hard physically and mentally, with all the smoke and radiation and positions you need to be in to work.

skills you need

soma3307 — 2025-04-28 12:25:36 UTC

You need lots of attention to detail when you're welding. It's a good skill to have hand-eye coordination. It's an essential skill in this field of work, and so is dexterity

education/training

soma3307 — 2025-04-28 12:31:43 UTC

To get into a 2-year college program for welding, you need a grade 12 education. For an apprenticeship, you most likely just need to know the general knowledge for welding, and that takes you 3 years

where to train

soma3307 — 2025-04-28 12:38:39 UTC

At Holland College,West Princee campus, you can get training for one year, and it costs 8,218 dollars for that year

money

soma3307 — 2025-04-28 12:50:46 UTC

The entry level is around 19 .00 an hour, and an experienced welder should expect around 24-37 dollars per hour

job prospects

soma3307 — 2025-04-28 12:56:38 UTC

There are only three welding jobs in PEI, but 657 welding jobs in Canada

the most jobs

soma3307 — 2025-04-28 12:59:34 UTC

thers more jobs in Quebec than there are anywhere else in Canada. You're most likely to leave PEI to find better-paying jobs in places where there is more demand

I think I'm a very good match for this job. I love welding, and I'm very good at it!
