At its core, WELDIFY targets the skills gap in “circular material welding”—joining and welding where recycled and reused metals are more common. EWF describes it as an Erasmus+ project that uses inclusive training and an AI-supported digital platform, aiming to help current and future welders build practical, recognized skills.
