Overview
Humber’s Mechanical Techniques – Millwright certificate program is designed to help introduce prospective millwrights to the trade. The program aims to facilitate employment and provide the required components to enter into a millwright apprenticeship program, giving students experience with Ontario’s Trade Standards and Regulations and Practices.
You will gain a solid understanding of the various technical theories and elements of the millwright trade. There will be a significant practical component to the program, and you will learn valuable skills in blueprint reading, basic hydraulic/pneumatic, machining, welding, basic electrical controls, drives/pumps and precision measurement.
At Humber, skilled faculty highlight current trends within the industry and strive to duplicate situations that apprentices and skilled tradespeople will see in their everyday working life.
Upon completion, students may be eligible to be exempt from the level one in-school portion of a Millwright Apprenticeship program.
Career opportunities
Canada currently faces a critical shortage of skilled workers.
Skilled tradespeople will be increasingly in demand because of the rapid pace of technological changes and as current workers in the field begin to retire. According to the Working in Canada Report (Government of Canada), employment opportunities for licensed millwrights will be steady.
Graduates of this program will find a range of employment opportunities through millwright apprenticeship programs, as well as positions associated with construction, manufacturing and industry work, metal fabrication, green energy, and industrial maintenance. There are many opportunities for advancement within this career path from supervisory to management positions.
