Welder programs in Michigan

No sponsor in Michigan has published a wage scale, so we can name the 3 registered apprenticeships below but not what they pay. The trade schools further down publish their prices, which is why they look more complete. That is a gap in the public record, not a verdict on which is the better deal.

What the job pays in Michigan

$49,990median, per year

This is what welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers earn across Michigan, half above and half below. It is an experienced-worker figure, not a starting wage. Nationally the median is $53,750.
