The millwright is employed in the installation, repair and maintenance of complex industrial mechanical machinery in existing and new construction. As such, the millwright deals with critical pieces of machinery which are vital to the operation of the plant. Consequently, qualified millwrights are in high demand by industry.

In this program, students will learn to diagnose, install and maintain plant machinery in a systematic manner with a high degree of efficiency. This program provides students with the training equivalent to the basic level in-school component of a millwright apprenticeship. In addition, they will increase their communication skills and gain hands-on millwright training.

Students successfully completing the Industrial Mechanical Millwright Techniques program may continue into semester three of the Industrial Mechanical Millwright Technician program at Cambrian College or may enter as an apprentice in industry.

Employment Opportunities

Graduates may work in industry as a trainee or as an apprentice in an industrial setting. Upon completion of their training, they may work as a journeyperson, millwright, foreman or supervisor.
