The CWB Association brings you a weekly podcast that connects to welding professionals around the world to share their passion and give you the right tips to stay on top of what’s happening in the welding industry.

Welding may look simple on camera, but real skill comes from proper education and practice. In this episode, we sit down with Darryl Madussi, Welding Professor at Fleming College. We unpack what Canadian welding training gets right and where it falls short. We also challenge the myth of fast-track six-figure jobs and explore the gap between foundational training and job-ready skills. Solutions like reverse job fairs show how students and employers can connect in more meaningful ways. We also discuss innovations like Crew Connect that support worker well-being, and how the industry can create stronger, more inclusive pathways without compromising quality.
