Facing a critical shortage of over 238,000 welders by 2019, the American Welding Society (AWS) is bringing its Careers in Welding Trailer to the Maryland State Fair on Friday, August 23 - Monday, August 26. The trailer gives visitors the opportunity to try their hand at welding and learn more about a career path in the industry.
In addition to the welding simulators, the 53 foot, single expandable trailer has 650 square feet of exhibit space that includes a display wall featuring eleven industry segments with trivia questions, fun facts, and industry artifacts; a “Day in the Life of a Welder” exhibit with videos depicting real-life environments in which welders work; a life size welder highlighting welding as a safe profession; a social media kiosk allowing visitors to take their photo and post to Facebook or email to a friend; welding scholarship information and more.
Visitors of all ages are invited to visit the Careers in Welding Trailer!
