Program Highlights

This program is considered a Red Seal trade (see www.red-seal.ca - opens a new window). Apprenticeship grants are designed to make a career in the trades an attractive choice and to encourage more apprentices to complete their training. Eligible apprentices may receive up to $4,000 which can be used to pay for tuition, travel, tools, or other expenses.

As per the Service Canada website, registered apprentices who have successfully finished their first or second year / level (or equivalent) in one of the Red Seal trades can apply for the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant (AIG) which is a taxable cash grant of $1,000 per year / level up to a maximum of $2,000. Registered apprentices who complete their training, become a certified journeyperson in a designated Red Seal trade, and who obtain either the Red Seal endorsement or a provincial or territorial Certificate of Qualification can apply for the Apprenticeship Completion Grant (ACG) which is a taxable cash grant of $2,000.

This course will allow the apprentice the opportunity to calculate safety factors used in rigging and hoisting procedures and the respective practical applications.

To develop in the apprentice the knowledge and ability to read welding drawings, apply safety rules, layout, measure, cut, tack, weld and assemble metal and other components to specifications.

This course will outline the concepts of basic electricity and electronics to thestudent. It will include electrical safety, codes and basic electrical circuits.

This course will enable the apprentice to read and interpret engineering drawings in order to determine layout procedures, machining sequences and checking operations.

This course is designed to prepare a Millwright apprentice to solve trade related problems, with particular applications in measurement and proportion

This course will allow the apprentice the opportunity to learn machine shop theoryand practice at the intermediate level. The student will obtain practical andtheoretical skills related to transmissions systems, compressors, pumps, valving,piping systems, as well as bearings and seals. The student will be evaluatedby completed individual module tests related to the learning outcomes as listedbelow.

To develop in the student knowledge and additional skills in welding practice and techniques.

In this course the students further develop their electrical and electronicknowledge.

In this course the students develop the ability to effectively use manufacturers' manuals and to sketch and draw machine component parts.

In this course the students identify, select and install the appropriate transmission system and/or components for a specific application.

This course will assist the apprentice in performing calculations and functions to determine plane geometric and trigonometric problems, identifying Pythagoras' Theorem, geometric forms of circles and to correctly convert drawing dimensions from Imperial to Metric (SI) and from Metric to Imperial.

This course will allow the apprentice to develop knowledge of the principles of applied mechanics and thermodynamics as it pertains to the trade Industrial Mechanic (Millwright). We will also develop apprentices knowledge of the basic skills in the use of precision measuring equipment as it pertains to machineinstallation and set-up.

In this course the students develop knowledge of the types and principles of operation of various material handling systems, prime movers, fans and blowers. The apprentice will gain knowledge of procedures, equipment used, and the benefits that accrue from a preventive and predictive maintenance program.

To develop in the apprentice the knowledge and ability to read welding drawings, apply safety rules, layout, measure, cut, tack, weld and assemble metal and other components to specification.

In this course the students develop a basic knowledge of electric and electronic terminology, schematics and applications of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's)

In this course the student will learn trade specific applications as they relate to hydraulics and pneumatics.Typical hydraulic and pneumatic systems found in industrial applications are highlighted. Students will receive a basic introduction to hydraulic and pneumatic principles; components, symbols and applications. You will practice the safety regulations as prescribed by OHSA (Occupational Health and Safety Act) and youwill learn to appreciate the critical aspect of maintaining superior cleanliness of hydraulic equipment and systems.
