Millwright Foundation Trades Training
Millwrights dismantle, move, install, change layout, set-up, repair, overhaul and maintain all machinery and heavy mechanical equipment, including power shafting, pulleys, conveyors and hoists. They work from plans and blueprints and install equipment using hand tools, power tools, and hoisting equipment. Millwrights use grinders and lathes to make customized parts and construct machinery foundations.
Millwright is designated as Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) under the Inter-Provincial Red Seal program.
If a student is just starting training, or has been unable to secure employment in industry as a Millwright, enrolling in a Foundation Trades Training program is a viable option prior to entering into an Apprenticeship.
Students receive training according to provincial Foundation Trades Training and Level 1 Apprenticeship curriculum. Successful graduates receive Level 1 technical training credit and 425 work-based hours credit towards completion of the Millwright Apprenticeship program.
