Job description

Western Welding Academy is on a mission to build a better generation of blue-collar craftsmen. We are forging the next generation of skilled welders through an unwavering commitment to work ethic, accountability, and integrity. By focusing on student outcomes, we provide industry-leading education and hands-on training in a real-world environment, preparing our students to meet and exceed the demands of the welding industry.

At Western Welding Academy, we believe wholeheartedly in our mission because we understand the fundamental role blue-collar tradespeople play in the fabric of America. This country was built on the backs of skilled workersmen and women who put in the hard labor that made our roads, bridges, buildings, and industries possible. Blue-collar men and women are the backbone of our economic system, vital to every sector from manufacturing to infrastructure. However, for too long, our nation has focused predominantly on white-collar jobs and the push to send every young person to college, leaving skilled trades underappreciated and underrepresented. Today, we are facing a monumental shift. A worldwide demographic collapse is causing industry and manufacturing to return to American soil, and yet, we lack the skilled labor force needed to meet the immense demand. Even before this shift, there was a substantial need for skilled tradespeople, but now, with global supply chains crumbling and reshoring becoming a necessity, the demand for welders and other skilled workers is skyrocketing. At Western Welding Academy, we see this as our mission, to equip the next generation with the skills they need to thrive, to build strong careers, and to restore the backbone of America's industrial strength. We are committed to filling this gap, one welder at a time, because we believe that the future of our country depends on the hands of those willing to build it.
