All boilermaker apprentices in Ontario must belong to the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local 128 and must register through the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development (MLTSD). Apprentice contracts and training schedules are managed through the IBB Local 128.
Applicants that are registered as an apprentice in a trade should receive a letter from the MLTSD inviting them to apply for schooling. All applications from that point will need their payment processed by the Office of the Registrar & Financial Aid Services at Lambton College.
If you are a registered apprentice and have not received a letter regarding apprenticeship schooling then contact your local MLTSD office.
This Employment Ontario service is funded in part by the Government of Canada.
