IRVING, Texas, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tulsa Welding School (TWS) announced today the launch of a new weekend welding program at its Dallas Metro campus. The new program will offer a flexible learning schedule for adults managing full-time jobs while providing an opportunity to explore a new career.
The 7-month weekend program is designed to prepare students for welding work across industries, including automotive, aerospace and aviation, shipbuilding construction, bridges, bikes and more. Like the traditional welding program, the weekend curriculum will also include specific courses in structural welding, fluxcore welding and pipe welding techniques.
The new program comes at a time when the U.S is experiencing a growing demand for professional welders with the American Welding Society predicting that 360,000 welding professionals will be needed by 2027. Fortunately, wherever metal needs adhering, a welder is needed.
“We opened the doors to the Tulsa Welding School Dallas Metro Area campus last year with the intention of reducing the skilled trade labor shortage in our state, and nationwide,” said Tamekia Morris, Campus President of TWS Dallas Metro campus. “Part of that work is making sure we’re meeting the workforce where they are and creating more accommodating schedules so that we can increase access to new education and career opportunities.”
Professional Welding is one of several programs available to students at Tulsa Welding School Dallas Metro Area in Irving, TX. The Dallas Metro campus also offers programs in Electrical Lineworker, Electrical Technologies and Refrigeration Technologies.
Enrollment for the weekend welding program is now open, with classes starting on March 29. For more information on the new TWS Dallas Metro campus and programs available, visit tws.edu/dallas.
