National Welding League Competition Series

2026-27 Registration now open

In Project MFG’s National Welding League, students prove themselves across the welding disciplines the industry runs on: reading blueprints, working to weld procedure specifications, and laying beads that hold up to AWS standards. Open to welders from high schools, community colleges, trade schools, and universities. Two remote rounds at your school, each with a new project and new processes, lead to the National Championship.
