Welding Level 1 Trainee Guide (5th Edition)

by Nccer

Few career choices offer as many options for employment and opportunities for growth. According to the Department of Labor, "the basic skills of welding are similar across industries, so welders can easily shift from one industry to another, depending on where they are needed most." Welders will continue to be in high demand since there is a continual need to rebuild aging infrastructure such as highways and buildings. In addition, the creation of new power generation facilities will yield new job prospects for trained and skilled welders. Evolving technology creates more uses for welding in the workplace. For example, new methods are being developed to bond dissimilar materials and nonmetallic materials such as plastics, composites, and new alloys. Also, advances in laser beam and electron beam welding, new fluxes, and other new technologies and techniques all point to an increasing need for educated, skilled welders.

This fifth edition of Welding Level One introduces the fundamentals of the welding trade. The four levels of this curriculum present an apprentice approach and will help you be knowledgeable, safe, and effective on the job. The Welding curriculum has been revised by industry subject matter experts from across the nation who have incorporated the latest methods and technology of the trade.
