I'm not very sure about it. As I am new to this job, they just told me that a welding course may help me in my job. They didn't insist me. I'm not completely aware of their intention on asking me to take up a course. That's why I am here to get your suggestions. I'll ask them why they told me to take up a course on welding and will let you know. They have a welding and fabrication work field too. So I thought that maybe they could've told me to take the course so that I can work there too. I'm not sure. I'll let you know once I clear all my doubts. Anyway, thanks for your opinion JimB.
