Open the Door to a Phenomenal Future

IN THE WELDING TRADE

The Lincoln Electric Welding School – one of the oldest continually operating welding schools in the world – provides skilled trade training to U.S. military veterans who want to prepare for a career in the welding industry.

The GI Bill, Post-9/11 GI Bill and Harry W. Colmery Veterans Education Assistance Act offer tuition reimbursement for veterans, and in some cases, for a veteran’s child or spouse.

These benefits can only be applied to Lincoln Electric’s 16-week Comprehensive Program or the 6-week Basic Plate Arc Welding Course.
