Colorado Projects 17% Growth In Job Demand For Welders By 2030¹

There’s a proven need for welders across the country as well as in Colorado: While the U.S. Department of Labor projects at least 42,000 job openings per year for skilled welders nationwide by 2032, the State of Colorado in particular projects a 17% growth rate from 2020 to 2030¹. Train at one of the state’s top schools for welder training: Lincoln Tech’s Denver campus.

The Welding and Fabrication Technology programs at our Denver campus train students to develop the requisite competencies to start a career as a welder in construction, manufacturing, mining, agriculture and more.

Lincoln Tech’s Denver campus offers two training programs for welding: a 720-hour Welding and Fabrication Technology diploma program and a 920-hour Welding and Fabrication Technology with Pipe diploma program. The additional 200 hours in the Pipe program focus on SMAW and GMAW/FCAW (MIG) pipe welding in specific positions: 1G-Rotated and 6G positions for MIG, and (1G-Rotated) position, horizontal (2G), multiple (5G), and multiple inclined (6G) positions for SMAW welding. The V-Groove welding technique is taught for all of these positions.

Welding School Training Highlights

• Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
• Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG)
• Flux Core Arc Welding (FCAW)
• Tungsten Arc Gas Welding (GTAW/TIG)
• Metal fabrication techniques
• Welding plate metal, carbon steel plates, aluminum, and stainless steel
• Welding in horizontal, vertical, and overhead settings
• V-Groove Multi-Positional Pipe Welding (Welding & Fabrication with Pipe Program)

When you graduate, you’ll be prepared to complete pre-qualification tests for construction, structural or pipe-related projects. You’ll also qualify to test for Level One certification from the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER).
