Welding skills on wheels - training where you need it

M State’s Workforce Development Solutions brings hands-on welding instruction directly to you: on your schedule, at your site or ours, and built around your specific goals.

Train new employees in cutting and welding fundamentals
Elevate certification levels of current welders
Meet your business or career advancement goals

With flexible delivery, modern equipment, and curriculum aligned with AWS, API, and ASME standards, we help you strengthen your workforce without slowing down operations.

Mobile welding labs

Our mobile welding labs each feature eight fully equipped stations and are led by experienced, AWS-certified instructors. Whether you're introducing new employees to welding, upskilling your current team, or preparing for industry certifications, we’ll tailor training to meet your needs.

Why prioritize welding training now?

The industry will require more than 320,000 new welding professionals by 2029, with approximately 80,000 positions needing to be filled each year from 2025–2029. A significant factor driving this demand is the expected retirement of more than 157,000 experienced welders, creating a critical need for workforce development and training initiatives.

"Working with M State has been a natural fit for us. Not only was the welding instruction top notch, but the awareness of our need for flexibility was excellent. From the idea inception to the final evaluation, M State was there to ask us what we needed. The ability to tailor the instruction for our diverse work needs while still achieving certification standards was appreciated. I would recommend working with M State without any reservation. "
