The Hobart welding school started in 1930 as a department of the Hobart Brothers Company. In 1940 the State of Ohio granted a charter to the school as a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation governed by a board of directors and became known as the Hobart Trade School. As welding became more popular, the demand for trained welders increased and larger school facilities were required. Hobart Institute trained thousands of welders for World War II production in 1942-45.
