“I am proud to be a welder”

How often do we come across people who take pride in their profession? Not very often, right? But taking pride in one’s own work is one of the core qualities of a happy employee.

We interacted with few employees of Fronius India, who shared why they chose welding as their career and how proud they are to be in this field.

Thanks to advancements in technology, that has taken away most of the physical work and opportunities to learn new skills, reskill and upskill, welding is no longer considered a difficult job but is considered as one of the most aspirational career options with steady career growth.

Find out what some of the proud welders have to say about welding, a highly skilled profession, and a brilliant career choice.

You can watch them share their stories on our YouTube channel, for which the link is given below.
