Since 1996, the American Welding Society has designated the month of April as National Welding Month to bring awareness to the welding industry and its available career paths.
Welding careers are integral to keeping people safe and advancing the quality of life across the globe, yet participation in welding and other skilled trades continues to decrease.
To celebrate our vast and diverse welding community, events for National Welding Month 2024 will revolve around this year’s theme:
Increase Your Impact
My Welding Story
My Welding Story
Every welder has a story to tell. Throughout the month, AWS will highlight stories from those in the welding community and share how welding has shaped their lives. If you’d like your welding story to be considered, fill out the survey below for a chance to be featured on our Instagram page.
