It's loud, it's hot, and it's how great welding skill is developed. It's the welding lab at NCST!

Step into the welding lab at NCST. Students work with TIG, MIG, and arc welding equipment on the NCST campuses, proving their skills on metal outside of a classroom. The math, planning, and blueprints are taught to all students so they don't leave the program with any blindspots for the job.

Every bridge, pipeline, and piece of factory equipment depends on a strong weld. NCST trains welders at both campuses, and our graduates are putting those skills to work in their own communities. Read their stories and learn what the Combination Welding program covers.

See how New Castle School of Trades' welding programs in New Castle, PA and East Liverpool, OH prepare graduates for work that keeps communities running.

250 years ago, Americans fought for their independence and earned it. Now, East Liverpool's community is honoring the 152 veterans of that war who are buried right here in Columbiana County with this New Revolutionary War Monument.

Thanks to beautiful monuments like this, and to the freedoms we get to experience every day, we will never forget their fight for freedom and independence.

Dr. Jason Altmire's work has been helping people pursuing the trades for years. His most recent book, Trade Up, is another helpful tool for anyone trying to understand the future of our workforce.

Co-written by Riley Burr, the book gives great insights into where the trades are at and where they will need to be in the future. Read our full review of the book here:

Electrical and Industrial Maintenance students learn how to keep equipment running when something breaks down. That means troubleshooting motors, wiring, and control systems used in plants and facilities every day. It's a program built for people who like solving problems with their hands.
