This 36-week program prepares learners for entry level positions as apprentice millwrights (Industrial Mechanic) and as apprentice machinists with manufacturing firms and resource development firms.
Students engage in a variety of classroom and shop activities. They learn principles of both trades in the classroom and then apply their knowledge in the shop where they fabricate, install, repair and maintain industrial tools, machines and equipment to exacting standards of precision.
Graduates of the Millwright Machinist Foundation Program at Selkirk College typically find employment as apprentice millwrights engaged in the operation and maintenance of machines and systems in manufacturing plants, resource development firms, mines, mills and various industrial enterprises. Apprentice machinists are typically employed to set up, calibrate, program and operate sophisticated machine tools in a variety of industrial environments.
