For further information on AWS\u2019s apprenticeship initiatives, visit the official National Apprenticeship Week website or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aws.org\/\">aws.org<\/a>. \u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The American Welding Society (AWS), founded in 1919, is a nonprofit organization with over 65,000 members dedicated to advancing welding science, technology, and applications globally. AWS provides industry professionals with standards, certifications, and educational resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AWS Foundation, as the philanthropic branch of AWS, supports the welding industry\u2019s growth through career awareness, scholarships, and grants to institutions that offer welding education and training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American Welding Society is marking the 10th National Apprenticeship Week (November 17-24, 2024) by urging manufacturers to expand apprenticeships for welders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-manufacturing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1164"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1167,"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164\/revisions\/1167"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/superwomansolutions.com\/engtechnica\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
