Major strategies <strong>of</strong> WeldCare include:<br />
Development <strong>of</strong> mechanisms to introduce the model to different countries and regions <strong>of</strong> the world.<br />
To establish, implement and sustain national and regional networks <strong>of</strong> Technology Support Centres<br />
and Educational Support Centres.<br />
Identification <strong>of</strong> “champions” around the world to help promote WeldCare.<br />
Liaison with aid agencies to support the model.<br />
Assisting in the establishment <strong>of</strong> national welding institutes and associations.<br />
Liaison with industry and government.<br />
Implementation <strong>of</strong> campaigns to help raise the “image <strong>of</strong> welding“.<br />
Establishment <strong>of</strong> recognition awards for organisations and individuals involved in education and<br />
training around the world.<br />
Over the past 20 years, many examples can be given <strong>of</strong> projects where IIW member countries have assisted<br />
both member and non-member countries to improve their welding technology and hence quality <strong>of</strong> life.<br />
The main emphasis is on education, training, qualification and certification.<br />
IIW is actively cooperating with Aid Agencies to expand these types <strong>of</strong> projects through its IIW Weldcare<br />
Programme.<br />
