Building Future Welders

Dedicated to building more than just welding products, Miller wants to help build people too. That’s why we created the Building a Welder program. Focused on introducing individuals to welding as a career option — and inspiring and encouraging both students and teachers — Building a Welder is just one way we’re helping grow both the welding workforce and the passion for our craft.

To celebrate the next generation of welders and those who are fostering their passion, Miller is offering two amazing contests for students and teachers! See below for details and enter by March 31, 2019!

Behind every welding hood is a person we’d like to get to know. Why? Because the stories shared might inspire someone else to take a chance, try something different and begin a new chapter in their story.

Building a Welder: Michael Brandt

Some of us have an unlikely path to becoming a welder — like Michael Brandt, owner of custom fabrication and mobile welding shop Garage Bound, LLC. At the age of 9, Michael had a great mentor who planted the seed for a love of welding. That love would help Michael get through some difficult times and later inspire him to pass on his passion to the next generation.
