How Welding Instructor Cesar Cordero Is Empowering the Next Generation | UTI
Meet Cesar Cordero — a UTI welding instructor who’s found his passion at the intersection of art and industry. From not knowing where welding would take him to teaching four key welding processes (TIG, MIG, flux-cored, and stick), Cesar’s journey is nothing short of inspiring!In this video, Cesar introduces us to the world of welding, explaining the intricacies of each process and the importance of mastering all four positions (1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G). From flat welding to overhead, if you can lay a bead in any one of these positions, you’re able to weld almost anywhere!*But welding isn’t just about joining pieces of metal together—for Cesar, it’s art. He loves the ability to create something that doesn’t exist, from structural welding to welding art.Join Cesar as he shares why attending a trade school for welding is a good option, the joy of passing on little tricks of the trade he learned in the field, and the sheer satisfaction of seeing his students perfect their tasks. This isn’t just a job—it’s a calling. And according to Cesar, “There’s nothing better than that.”Our welding program is available at 12 campus locations nationwide.
