Transcription

1 Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) On-the-Job Training Guide Industrial Mechanics (Millwright) install, maintain and repair machinery in factories, mines and production facilities. Training Requirements: 7200 hours (4 years) including: four 8-week training sessions at Saskatchewan Polytechnic in Saskatoon. Parkland College offers all four levels of Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) apprenticeship training at their campus facility in Esterhazy. Information regarding training is available on request by calling (306) Journeyperson to apprentice ratio for this trade is: 1:2 The information contained in this pamphlet serves as a guide for employers and apprentices. Apprenticeship training is mutually beneficial to both employer and apprentice. The employer s investment in training apprentices results in skilled and certified workers. The pamphlet summarizes the tasks to be covered by the apprentice during the on-the-job portion of apprenticeship training. An apprentice spends approximately 85% of the apprenticeship term training on-the-job. It is the employer s or journeyperson s training responsibility to supervise an apprentice s practical skills development until a satisfactory level of proficiency has been reached. EMPLOYER TRAINING RESPONSIBILITY introduce the apprentice to daily practice in approved safety procedures provide guided, hands-on practical experience and theory in the tasks and skills of the millwright trade where possible, expose the apprentice to new technology in the trade. Employers should make every effort to expose their apprentices to work experience in as many areas of the trade as possible. Below, in-school instruction is listed first; suggestions to help employers assist the apprentice to prepare for in-school training are listed next. The content of the training components is subject to change without notice. 10/14
