BRAINERD, MN, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Brainerd, MN/Columbus, OH (May 5, 2025) – The American Institute of Nondestructive Testing (AINDT), a premier institution specializing in nondestructive testing (NDT) training, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with the American Welding Program (AWP), a leading provider of welding education and training solutions. This landmark collaboration will enable AINDT to integrate AWP’s industry-recognized welding courses into its curriculum, providing NDT students and professionals expanded learning opportunities and enhanced career prospects in interconnected fields.

NDT professionals are essential in ensuring the safety, reliability, and integrity of materials, welded products, and structures across industries such as aerospace, automotive, construction, and energy. By incorporating AWP’s comprehensive welding instructional content, AINDT aims to equip its clients with a versatile skill set that bridges welding and NDT expertise.

The collaboration will provide AINDT customers access to AWP’s expert-led welding courses, covering techniques such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), weld symbols, metallurgy, and Plasma arc welding, among many others. These skills complement NDT training, enabling professionals to understand weld imperfections and improve inspection accuracy.

“AINDT is thrilled about this partnership, which strengthens the synergy between NDT and welding industries,” said Donald R. Booth, CEO at AINDT. “By integrating AWP’s cutting-edge welding courses, we empower our students to excel in multidisciplinary roles, meeting the evolving needs of employers in a technology-driven market.”

“AWP is excited for this partnership that will help build stronger connections between the NDT and welding industries,” said Trent Konrad, Director of Education, Learning and Development at AWP. “By offering our welding courses to those training with the experts at AINDT, we can help NDT professionals continue excelling in their field.”
The partnership also responds to the critical shortage of skilled welders and NDT professionals, with industry statistics projecting a need for 330,000 new welders by 2028. By offering flexible, industry-aligned training, AINDT and AWP are poised to address this gap, supporting infrastructure projects, renewable energy initiatives, and manufacturing growth. The collaboration will also explore joint certification programs, ensuring graduates meet employer and regulatory standards.
