EnglishWhere to Find Welding Jobs, Events, Scholarships, and Books on aws.org
Updated
The American Welding Society (AWS) site groups these four resources under its career and education navigation: Jobs in Welding for the job board, Conferences and Events for industry gatherings like Fabtech and the Welding Summit, Scholarships for education funding, and the Bookstore for educational materials. All four are listed together in the site's "Advance Your Welding Career" section, so you can reach them from the same area of the site rather than hunting through separate menus.
Jobs in Welding
AWS operates a dedicated job site, Jobs in Welding, described on aws.org as a tool to help you find welding employment. The homepage links to it directly from the career section.
- What it is for: searching welding job openings and connecting with employers.
- How to use it: follow the "Jobs in Welding" link from the career section of aws.org; the job board itself is a separate site, so expect to leave the main AWS page.
- Who it suits: students entering the field, experienced welders looking for a change, and inspectors or other professionals seeking roles.
The page does not publish listing counts, employer names, or posting fees, so treat the board as a starting point and verify current openings directly.
Conferences and Events
The Conferences and Events section lists AWS-supported industry events. Two examples appear on the homepage:
| Event | What the site says | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Fabtech Canada 2026 | Described as Canada's largest metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event, returning to Toronto | June 9–11, 2026; registration open |
| Welding Summit 2026 | Focused on applying ASME, AWS, and API requirements across a single scope of work | 2026 |
| ASME Section IX Decoded workshop | A three-day introductory workshop on complying with ASME Section IX welding, brazing, and fusing qualification requirements | Not stated on the page |
| Fabtech (North America) | Described as North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing event | Not stated on the page |
Use this section if you want continuing education, hands-on exposure to new technology, or networking. Check each event's own page for location, cost, and registration deadlines, since the homepage only summarizes them.
Scholarships
Scholarships appears in the same career navigation list. The homepage confirms the category exists but does not detail eligibility, award amounts, or deadlines. If you are a student or an instructor advising one, start at the Scholarships link and read the current application requirements there before planning around any award.
Bookstore
The Bookstore is listed alongside the other career resources and is the place to find AWS educational materials — standards, reference texts, and training resources. The site does not publish prices on the homepage, so confirm cost and format on the bookstore pages themselves.
Choosing Where to Start
- Looking for work now: go to Jobs in Welding first.
- Building skills or credentials: start with the courses and certification pages, then use the Bookstore for supporting materials.
- Need funding for training: check Scholarships before enrolling in a course.
- Want industry exposure or networking: browse Conferences and Events and register early for dated events like Fabtech Canada 2026.
One practical note: the homepage mixes navigation links with promotional content, so the fastest route is the "Advance Your Welding Career" jump list, which collects Jobs in Welding, Conferences and Events, Scholarships, and the Bookstore in one place.
