Women in Welding: Hands-On Skills and Creative Sparks Fly!
Wednesday, 3 September 2025
Welding might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about creative or empowering experiences, but for the women who took part in our latest Women’s Introduction to Welding course at Wodonga TAFE, it was exactly that!
Held over two full days in August, this course welcomed women from all walks of life to step into the workshop and try their hand at welding in a safe, inclusive environment.
Whether it’s about exploring a new interest, getting hands-on with tools, or even laying the groundwork for a potential career change, this course continues to spark inspiration and confidence.
“The course exceeded my expectations!”
That’s how recent participant Fay described her experience:
“The course has exceeded my expectations! I can't wait to use the skills learnt for projects around the home. I'm looking out for further course dates in the future as I’d love to get into more garden art! The course certainly teaches patience.”
For others, like Zinna, the course was not only empowering but essential:
“Every woman should complete this course! Everyone needs at least some experience welding and this is the place to do it!”
What the Course Covers:
- Safe use of welding tools and PPE
- Basic MIG and Stick (Manual Metal Arc) welding
- Hands-on practice with real tools in a supportive environment
- Small take-home projects
- Pathways into further training or employment
