From the welding simulator to hands-on classes, Ramacrisna offers a modern and efficient training program for those who want to enter the industry with full strength.

In recent years, the welding sector has gained prominence in Brazil and worldwide, driven by industrial growth and technological advancements. The market is increasingly dynamic and in need of qualified professionals.

Automation, robotics, and new hybrid techniques are revolutionizing welding processes, making them more precise, efficient, and sustainable. This creates a promising outlook for those seeking a stable and well-paid career.

Moreover, welding is present in many productive sectors, from automotive to renewable energy. The main factors driving market growth include technological advances, industrial expansion, and large-scale demand in various industries. In addition, new opportunities are emerging in areas such as research, development, and even decoration.

However, the market also faces challenges, such as a shortage of skilled labor and the constant need for professional updates. Therefore, investing in technical training is essential for anyone who wants to enter or stand out in this field.

How much does a welder earn?

One of the major attractions of the profession is its potential for salary growth. The average salary of a welder in Brazil is approximately R$ 3,208.03, according to data from Portal Salário and CAGED. However, this amount can vary greatly depending on experience level, specialization, and the industry in which the professional works.

In Minas Gerais, for instance, the average salary ranges from R$ 2,745 to R$ 4,735, depending on the type of employment.

Highly specialized professionals can earn much more. An oxy-gas welder, for example, can earn around R$ 5,676.41, while those working in nuclear or energy generation plants can make up to R$ 18,000, due to the complexity and technical requirements of these roles.

Compensation also depends on factors such as experience, company size, and region. In other words, the more skilled and up-to-date the professional is, the greater the chances of achieving competitive salaries.

Where can a welder work?

The welding course is highly versatile, opening doors to various industries and job types.

Main areas of employment include:

• Metallurgy: construction and maintenance of metal parts and structures;

• Civil construction: assembly of bridges, viaducts, and pre-molded structures;

• Automotive and aeronautical industries: manufacturing and assembly of vehicle and aircraft components;

• Petrochemical and oil industries: maintenance of pipelines, platforms, and industrial systems;

• Naval industry: construction and repair of ships and vessels;

• Machinery and equipment production: manufacturing of boilers, structures, and industrial systems.

Beyond traditional industries, welders can also work independently, open their own welding or metalworking business, provide specialized services, apply for public sector jobs, or even pursue careers in research and development of new materials and technologies.

This diversity makes the welding course one of the most promising and strategic technical programs for those seeking stability and excellent career prospects.
