With around 250 new positions added each year, the need for welders will only increase. This figure is significantly higher than the national average, making Rhode Island a fantastic place to work for entry-level and seasoned welders.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div> \n <\/li>\n <li class=\"accordion-item\" data-accordion-item>\n <a href=\"#\" class=\"accordion-title\"> Salary Outlook<\/a> \n\n <div class=\"accordion-content\" data-tab-content>\n \n <div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Salary potential can vary greatly depending on years of experience, location, and industry.

Many employers give preference to welders with the only nationally recognized certification \u2014 the Certified Welding Educator Program \u2014 over those without it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To enhance the chances of attaining a welding job in Rhode Island, a certification in the three major welding types can help.
