In just five years, the CWB Welding Foundation has spearheaded significant change across Canada. Since its establishment in 2013, the CWB Welding Foundation has made tremendous efforts to positively impact the welding industry and individuals as it works to ensure that the next generation of Canadians understands the opportunities that exist related to welding. While more than 100,000 Canadians are currently employed as certified welders across more than approximately 7,000 CWB certified organizations, the Canadian welding industry is experiencing a shortage of welding professionals, in large part due to an ageing Canadian population, a lack of young people being attracted to the skilled trades, and the reduced focus on skilled-trades training in secondary and post-secondary institutions.
