Florence-Darlington Technical College 6th Annual Metal Sculpture Competition
FLORENCE, S.C. - It’s 7 a.m. and ten teams of welders are digging through large piles of scrap metal, their eyes darting around as they search for the perfect pieces to complete their vision.
They know this is their chance to show the local community another side to their trade – the side that is craft and art and creativity.

Is it just us, or is welding in the news a lot lately?
When it comes to jobs, we're hearing phrases like: Skills gap. Aging workforce. Increased enrollment at technical schools. Breaking gender stereotypes. Skilled trades. STEM. Increased manufacturing.
It turns out that welding certificate or diploma may be worth... well, a lot.
