Welders wanted: one year to a job with a future
ArticleVehicles and metal
Metalworking companies in Limburg struggle to find welders. Students often have a job before their exam. Three of them tell their story.
The T2 campus in Genk has twelve welding booths. On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, every one of them is taken. The students are between 19 and 54: school leavers, career changers, an office worker who finally wants to do something with her hands.
What they have in common: almost all of them already have an employer waiting.
I had a contract after three months. My boss is now paying for the rest of my training.
From booth to shop floor
The course is built around the welding certificate. Pass, and you get a certificate that is valid across Europe. Companies come to the campus themselves to find trainees.
