Welding isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle that builds America. 🔥 Western Welding Academy is on a mission to inspire the next generation of welders through hands-on training, mentorship, and the Blue Collar Tour.

In this video, we go behind the scenes with the WWA crew as they visit 31 high schools in 60 days, showing students how welding can open doors to a lifelong career.

Hear from founder, Tyler Sasse, about why he started the academy, how they’re making an impact, and why ESAB’s Future Fabricators program is proud to support their journey.

Here at ESAB, we're passionate about passing the torch and partnering with Western Welding Academy was a no-brainer 💪

👉 WATCH NOW and see how we're building the future of welding—one student at a time.
