Welding Digest

You’re a welding instructor with a passion for your craft, but what about your teaching skills?

You know welding inside and out, but when it comes to teaching others, you may find yourself struggling with how to transfer that knowledge best. Whether you’re new to teaching or have years of experience, you’re probably aware that teaching requires a unique set of skills that go beyond being an expert welder. That’s where the AWS Train the Trainer event comes in.

Welding Instructors Can Benefit from More Teaching Tools and Strategies

As a welding instructor, you’re already an expert in your craft. However, teaching effectively requires a different set of skills. Without formal training in teaching methods, you may find it challenging to structure lessons, manage your classroom, and engage your students in a meaningful way. In fact, many instructors are left to figure out teaching techniques on their own, which can make your job harder and potentially limit your students’ learning.

But what if you had the opportunity to develop your teaching skills alongside other welding educators? What if you could learn how to create more effective welding programs that benefit both you and your students?

We understand the challenge. That’s why we’ve created the Train the Trainer event.
