Ecor International, AxL S.p.A. Thiene and AxL Formazione S.r.l. launch the Welding Academy: a Company School training which aims to train professional roles that are very demanded by the job market and difficult to find.

The initiative is a free training course for welders specialized in pipe machining. It addresses to men and women, young and adults, even without any specific welding experience, that want to try this profession especially requested by the companies in Vicenza area. Candidates only have to try to get in the game and be confident with manual activities.

The wannabe welders, after the course, could have the opportunity to join a temporary employment service, after the subscription and the successful selection of a labour agency.

The project was born thanks to a partnership between Ecor International, AxL S.p.A and AxL Formazione.

Ecor International, thanks to specialized competences on welding and on the production of critical components made of steel, aluminum, titanium and special alloys, will share spaces, instruments and human resources to start the course. Two engineers and a specialized technician, that work for the company, will give lecturers. They graduated after they had passed the specific European Welding Federation course. Moreover, two more qualified welders will join the school: they both follow the UNI EN ISO 9606 standard that fixes the requirement of the qualification’s test for operators that carry out fusion welding.

Axl S.p.A. is a company with more than 15 years of experience in the selection of qualified human resources, will choose the candidates and Axl Formazione Srl, a company specialized on training, organizational consulting activities and HR, will organize the course in collaboration with Ecor International. The aim of the project is to answer to the needs of local companies with a careful and strategic approach.

Between 6 to 12 participants can join the Welding Academy, after the selection process. The course will have both theoretical and practical lessons so that the students can apply what they have learnt in the class.

During the theoretical part in the class, that lasts 12 hours, the topics that will be discussed are: technical drawing, welding standards, indications on TIG welding process, an overview on other processes, stainless steel welding (expedients, defects, controls), some information on dimensional and non-destructive testing, and the security.

During the demonstrative part in the class, that lasts 8 hours, the TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding process will be presented. This is one of the most popular methods that allows to weld different kinds of materials.

Lastly, during the 60 hours practical part, the wannabe welders will try to put into practice what they’ve learnt and they will weld some samples.

«This action –say the organizers- allows to design and realize training proposals that must be practical and concrete, especially in a regional productive context like the Veneto Region. In this way trained people are facilitated to start working in the companies because they already know the tasks that need to be done».
