Arc Junkies


Jun 19, 2023

In this week's episode of the Arc Junkies Podcast, I discuss the increasingly concerning trend of welding educators leaving their teaching positions to return to the industry. I take a deep  into the many reasons behind this shift, including issues of pay disparity, administrative policy concerns, limited resources, and ballooning class sizes. However, it's not all about the problems – we also explore potential solutions. I ignite discussions about rethinking educational funding, improving policy communications, securing adequate resources, and finding innovative ways to handle larger classes. Tune in as I uncover the ways to create a more sustainable, rewarding environment for the ones shaping the future of the welding industry.
