DESCRIPTION
A millwright is vital to the operation of any industrial process. And with Northern’s one-year Mechanical Techniques - Industrial Millwright certificate, you’ll gain real-world experience in the installation, repair and maintenance of the complex machinery that literally runs our economy.
In an apprenticeship environment focused on teamwork, personal safety and problem solving, you’ll be trained to meet the challenges of today’s increasingly complex work environments. You’ll develop high standards of craftsmanship, gain pride in your trade, and - along the way - learn to repair everything from pumps and presses, to conveyers, generators, and tanks.
The result is that you’ll graduate with your level one of the in-school training for the apprenticeship requirements and be ready to claim your place in a wide range of industries. Or stay on with us for an extra year to earn a full diploma in our Mechanical Technician - Industrial Millwright program to complete all three levels of the in-school apprenticeship requirements and make you all the more employable in a fast-paced, lucrative and growing field.
