How Welding Schools Help Military Veterans Further Their Education

It may come as no surprise that highly skilled and trained welders are in demand right now

. Because of that demand, training could never be more accessible for those who need and deserve it, such as military veterans. Our country has managed to create programs nationwide that acknowledge the need for veterans to get training in such fields along with training to get back into the workforce. For veterans, receiving training in welding could be an excelled career move after leaving the service. There are many schools and programs currently offering the latest advances in welding training as well as Tuition assistance program to veterans.

Welding is a process that joins metals or thermoplastics through coalescence. A strong bond is achieved by melting the individual pieces with heat and pressure. Hundreds of industries utilize the skills of welders and master welders. Becoming a skilled welder and mastering the latest techniques requires very specific training that can be found through specialized welding schools.

Funding Options Available to Military Veterans Returning to School

Many schools offer welding programs specifically reserved and designed for veterans to help them accelerate through the program. Some schools offer programs open for veteran enrollment and include emphasis on skills needed to re-enter the workplace. Others offer veterans assistance and some even offer training for free. The military scholarships offered will vary by school and by state. There have been many changes to the post 9/11 GI Bill and veterans can also use the funding to attend trade school for a skill like welding after leaving the military. If your school does not have a program from veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs can direct vets on how to secure funding for a welding career utilizing the GI Bill.

Welding is a high demand career, and that demand is expected to continue to boom in the coming years, especially as technology in the industry continues to advance and evolve. As veterans leave the military service and look for a career that takes skill and specific training, and perhaps a career that even utilizes some of the training they received in the service, a career in welding may make sense. Whether a person served in the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines, veterans will find many schools willing to welcome them with open arms and scholarships.
