Market Opportunity Challenge: Manufacturing “The NAM believes America’s future depends on a skilled, productive and technically trained workforce. Every citizen needs to know that the winners in the global marketplace will be companies with the best workers.” Dream !t Do!t NAM Campaign John Engler, President, NAM “If we don’t address the skills issue, our economy will face a serious decline.” Jerry Jasinowski, President, The Manufacturing Institute “81% of manufacturers polled by NAM/Deloitte report they can’t find the skilled workers to keep their businesses competitive in a global 21st century economy.” Phyllis Eisen, Vice President, The Manufacturing Institute “NAM predicts that manufacturers will need as many as 10 million new skilled workers by 2020, in part to replace aging boomers who make up a large part of manufacturing jobs today.” Wall Street Journal Challenge: Welding Industry Manufacturing, Construction and Mining is a $3 trillion industry, 1/3 US GDP. Welding is a $34.1 billion industry. Labor represented more than 70% of welding-relate expenditures, $22.4 billion in 2000. There are more than 500,000 welders working in US. The average age of welders in today’s workforce is 54. It is estimated that there will be a shortage of more than 200,000 welders by 2010. This year, 50,000 welders will leave the industry while only 25,000 students begin their welding education.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND INDUSTRY ANALYSIS Welding industry and engineering consulting services is a large industry not only in New York City, but also in entire United States. Establishments dollar value of business done annual payroll Employees 231 3,799,582 794,067 16,128. Welding Status Welding is viewed as “dark & dirty” The critical role of welding is not fully appreciated in all corporate and government offices. High schools phasing out welding programs and discouraging careers despite annual earnings potential of $30,000 - $60,000. 1/2 of US industries report difficulties locating qualified welders. The US infrastructure is aging. Shortage “barrier” resulting in fewer competitive welding techniques, less productivity and outsourcing to foreign markets. Natural disaster prone areas have immediate need for welders to quickly rebuild homes and cities. The typical salary for a Pipe Fitter in New York City is $55,027. Welding Future Advancing manufacturing technology creates more uses for welding in the workplace and is expanding opportunities. Increased emphasis on certification, which ensures quality. Computer skills are required for welding professionals responsible for programming welding robots, lasers, and systems. New materials are creating a greater need for a highly educated and innovative welder workforce. Automation reinforces the need for skilled machine operators. US industries face foreign competition and require competitive welding techniques and skilled operators to stay viable. Skilled welders are needed to maintain the Country’s aging infrastructure 4.
