Believe it or not despite the economic downturn, there is still a serious shortfall of over 250,000 welders. Last fall, Joel Leonard visited Lincoln Electric's welding school and got to see first hand how they are developing a new generation of skilled welders.

He is delighted that now he is getting formal education and has already received numerous job offers. Check out more on SkillTV leveraging your skills section at www.SkillTV.net
