The American Welding Society has empowered the welding community through educational programs for over 100 years. To stay at the forefront of welding education and serve different industry sectors, AWS continues its commitment to education by frequently adding new courses and offering members and nonmembers the tools needed to face new challenges and emerging technologies.

"Welding is a dynamic industry with endless learning opportunities, no matter where someone is in their career," said Gary W. Konarska II, Executive Director & CEO. "Through AWS Education, we offer welding education for the entire career arc. You can develop new skills, discover the latest technology, brush up on foundational principles, or prepare for a certification."

AWS Education offers new and experienced welding professionals an unmatched selection of in-person and virtual education opportunities. For educators and institutions, AWS provides industry-leading curriculum, guidelines, and support to help teach welding students using proven principles. New courses, including Lean Management for Welding Productivity and Solution Selling for Welding, are among the many courses offered. Depending on their needs and preferences, participants can learn directly from experienced AWS instructors or go through an online class or webinar at their own pace.

"With AWS Education and Training, you don't have to choose between quality training and convenience," said Alicia Garcia, Director, of Education, and Training. "Everything you need to support your career is at your fingertips."

No matter which AWS Education path is chosen, participants will get the most up-to-date information and best practices, all backed by the globally recognized authority that sets the standards for the welding industry. While they don't need to be an AWS member to take advantage of training resources, educational discounts are just one of many perks of membership.
