It sponsors an annual championship to recognize the achievements of vocational students and to encourage them to strive for excellence and pride in their chosen occupations. Contestants in the welding competition move through workstations that test various aspects of welding, including the oxy-fuel, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW and SMAW processes, as well as identifying weld discontinuities and non-destructive testing. By supporting SkillsUSA with equipment, technical support, scholarships, training, and sponsorships, Miller encourages more young people to explore a rewarding career in welding. Miller is involved with SkillsUSA at many levels: . State Championship . National Championship . AWS US Open Weld Trials . World Skills Competition Miller helps the US competitor prepare for the World Skills Competition by bringing them to our headquarters to hone their skills. In addition, Miller sponsors a four-year scholarship, awarded through the AWS Foundation. |
