Welders use heat to fuse metal parts together, similar to structural fitters who prepare the components. Welding is a crucial skill in construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure projects. Welders must be proficient in various welding techniques and safety procedures.

• Key Skills: Welding techniques (MIG, TIG, stick), blueprint reading, metal fabrication, safety protocols.
• Career Path: Entry-level welders can advance to become welding inspectors, supervisors, or specialized welders in industries like aerospace or underwater welding.
