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 2023 will revolve around this year’s theme, “Be Part of the Future of Welding.”
-Take the Torch Membership Blitz: New members that sign up during National Welding Month will be eligible for a chance to win a gift card.

If you’d like your welding story to be considered, fill out the survey for a chance to be featured on the American Welding Society’s Instagram Stories. Among the stories that will be highlighted, we will learn about the Welding Story of American Welding Society’s 2023 President Dennis Eck, who video-recorded his responses.
