Based in Troy, Ohio, the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology is a nonprofit, single-focus educational facility established in 1930 that concentrates on welding training and education. The institute offers hands-on skill training, corporate and specialized programs, and certification pathways, and it supplies curriculum materials for schools and facilities that teach welding. It is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges and registered with the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools, reflecting its commitment to credentialed programs and a low student-to-teacher ratio with a high proportion of hands-on learning. HIWT serves students pursuing welding careers as well as educational institutions that teach welding courses, addressing practical skill development and credentialing needs. As a long-established nonprofit with a focused welding mission, it emphasizes hands-on learning and industry-relevant curricula. A notable leadership update occurred in January 2025, when Charles Carpenter was appointed vice president and general manager.
