Admission Requirements
Profile A
​​​​​​​Career Possibilities
With Canada’s ongoing industrial, infrastructure and energy projects, plus a solid manufacturing base, opportunities for welders exist across the country and in most sectors including construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, energy, and natural resources.
Graduates often start with cutting, welding, fabricating and fitting roles at construction firms, manufacturing companies, fabrication shops, and specialized welding shops, but with experience and the opportunity to specialize in specific types of welding including marine/shipbuilding, pressure, aluminum and other metals, your opportunities and pay scale grow.
Many skilled welders also choose to work for themselves, and there is no shortage of work to be found.
With ongoing demand, and good salaries that can average more than $40/hr for specialized workers such as boilermakers, It's the perfect time to join the skilled welding trade and become a vital part of building and maintaining the infrastructure of our modern world.
