Esab sponsors shipweld

The annual ShipWeld Competition, sponsored by ESAB, is a welding craft competition for UK shipyard apprentices, reflecting not only their shipyard training requirements, but also providing a route to the development of additional welding skills and competitive experience.

This year will see the fifth annual ShipWeld competition and once again the ESAB Group will sponsor the event, underlining the company's commitment to welding skills development.

"We want to give as many UK ship yard apprentice welders as possible the invaluable experience of the ShipWeld competition as part of their apprenticeship training," says Cheron Robinson of ESAB. "ShipWeld not only reinforces the importance of an apprentice's welding course craft practice, but is also a great competition for young professionals to share their experiences and meet other apprentices from other shipyards. Everyone who participates is really a winner.
