Troy, Ohio – July 8, 2005 – Recent events of the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology were highlighted in the July issue of Welding Journal , the national publication of the American Welding Society.

“Hobart Marks 75 Years of Welder Education,” by Howard M. Woodward highlights the history and events that have made Hobart Institute a “pioneer” in welding education.  Pictorial coverage includes the restored Unity of Man fountain and state and national dignitaries who made presentations at the commemorating occasion on May 14.   

Another primary publication of the industry, Welding Design & Fabrication, featured the customized and corporate training provided by Hobart Institute in “When Welders Need Training”, June 2005.  The article highlights the advantages that companies can gain from contracting with Hobart Institute for the training of their employees to increase their welding capabilities.  Working closely with clients, the Hobart Institute can assess workplace situations to identify and analyze problems and determine training and certification needs.

At a time when skilled laborers are in demand and many times difficult to find, it often is financially beneficial for companies to train from within or to provide industry-specific training for new hires, ultimately resulting in a better product and less rework and less waste in time and materials.
