Women in Welding: A Growing Workforce Segment

Although welding is traditionally a male-dominated field, more and more women are becoming attracted to it. With the welding industry facing a shortage of 200,000 welders, companies are focusing on training women to help narrow this gap. Many companies cater to women in the welding field because many are artistic and dependable, two important traits to have as a welder. For women interested in welding, Tulsa Welding School is a great place to train for this exciting and challenging career.

Welding may seem an unlikely career choice for women because men generally have greater physical strength than women; women tend to have better hand-eye coordination and excel at the more detailed aspects of welding. This combination of strengths makes men and women a very complimentary force in the welding workforce. More employers are recognizing the strengths that women welders bring to the job, and it is becoming more and more common to see women welding alongside their male counterparts.

Careers in Welding

Women in welding have many opportunities. An associate’s degree or welding certification allows women to work in traditional welding jobs in factories, oil refineries, metal shops and construction sites. However, some women use their welding skills to start their own metal art businesses. For those who enjoy travel, working as a welding inspector and traveling to various sites is a possibility.

Job Outlook

Welding is a career that is high in demand. Since there is currently a lack of qualified and trained welders, those with formal training and education will have the best opportunities for employment. Plus, women may have an advantage at some companies, since they are believed to be very dependable workers and very detail-oriented. Many women are looking to welding as a career because it is stable and there are many jobs available to them.

Contact Tulsa Welding School Today

The skilled welding shortage has created a unique employment opportunity for women and occupational training in welding is becoming more popular. Tulsa Welding School has locations in Tulsa, OK, and Jacksonville, FL, and welcomes students from all over the country. If you live in Texas, Georgia, Alabama, or many other states, there is a Tulsa Welding School representative in your area available to inform you about all the benefits of attending our welding vocational training.
