Bright sparks required – SkillWeld begins search for talented UK welder

The search is now on for the UK’s most gifted trainee welder.  Skillweld 2010, the prestigious, national welder competition, is looking for exceptional young people and adults who are proficient in all popular welding processes.  The winner will be crowned UK SkillWeld 2010 champion.

With support from TWI, principal sponsor Air Products and other leaders from across welding, skills and manufacturing industries, Skillweld is holding a number of regional competitions all over the UK. Any welder, competent in MMA and TIG and MIG/MAG, who is currently undergoing training may take up the challenge and enter. The best candidates from the regional competitions will then go on to compete at the national final held at the TWI in Cambridge from 6-9th April 2010.

Outstanding finalists from the national competition may then be considered for inclusion in the world’s biggest skills competition, WorldSkills, which is taking place in London in 2011.
