CIP Code: 47.0303
Overview
Anywhere there's industrial equipment, a Millwright is required to install, repair, maintain, and modify that equipment. Explore the variety of places a Millwright can work - the possibilities are endless.
This program is well suited for those who enjoy working with mechanical applications. Students are provided with the skills necessary to safely install, troubleshoot, overhaul and maintain a variety of mechanical equipment used in industrial operations. The program also integrates best practices commonly used in the industry. Areas of study include: machining, blueprint reading, hydraulics and pneumatics, electronic, power transmission and lubrication, materials science, preventative and predictive maintenance, project management, PLC, Robotics, CNC, and 3D modeling.
The Mechanical Technician – Industrial Maintenance (Millwright Mechanical Technician) program is recognized by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities as a co-op/diploma program. Graduates meet the program standards of an Ontario Mechanical Technician, as well as the in-school training of an Industrial Millwright Apprenticeship.
Students who are in good academic standing during the first two terms of the program will be eligible to apply for a four-month co-op job placement as available. A student is considered to be in good academic standing if they have passed all of their courses and have maintained a GPA of 2.5 or greater. Students seeking co-op job placement positions must apply for them and be chosen following an interview process. The college actively pursues companies to participate in the program but cannot guarantee co-op placements for each student.
Please Note: Equipment and hand tools are available onsite for use during the duration of the program.
