¿Qué aprenderé?

Employment opportunities in the Welding trade span several industries including transportation, petrochemical, oil and gas, aerospace, fabrication, manufacturing, pipelines, mining and construction.

George Brown’s Welding Techniques program prepares students with practical, hands-on experience that applies the technical theory and elements of the welding field. Students articulate their technical and essential employability skills through an e-portfolio, based on skill development throughout the program.

At the end of this intense, two-semester program, students will have the opportunity to challenge the shielded metal arc weld test, in accordance with CSA W47.1/W59 standards, in a position(s) of their choosing through the Canadian Welders Bureau. (This test will be voluntary and at an extra cost to the student.)

PROGRAM STANDARDS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:

Perform work responsibly and in compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and industry processes and procedures, including demonstrating learned knowledge of WHMIS.

Interpret engineering drawings and blueprints to produce basic graphics and welding projects as required by industry.

Select, plan, and demonstrate sustainable metal fabrication operations using industrial metal fabrication machinery and emerging technologies.

Perform basic technical measurements and welding functions accurately, using appropriate equipment and welding techniques.

Create welds on various types of materials and joints in the major welding positions to industrial standards and codes.

Use shop tools and equipment to manufacture, assemble, maintain and repair components according to required specifications and industry standards.

Interact effectively and professionally in shop environments, both independently and with fellow workers and other tradespeople.

Assess weld quality and implement corrective action where required to follow quality control and quality assurance procedures and meet organizational standards and requirements.

Create a professional development plan that addresses one’s strengths and areas for growth in the greater context of the welder profession.

THE INDUSTRY

Welding is a high demand trade, one that is critical for the success of many major development projects in every province across the country. Employment opportunities span several industries including:

  • Transportation
  • Petrochemical
  • Oil and Gas
  • Aerospace
  • Fabrication
  • Manufacturing
  • Pipelines
  • Mining
  • Construction

The Bureau of Labour Statistics paints a very bright future for welding careers in Ontario. Between 2010 and 2025, the industry is expected to see around 15 percent growth, which is higher than the rate of growth for most other occupations. Welding positions are going to be incredibly important to both the provincial and national economy over the course of the next decade.

YOUR CAREER

Graduates of the program bring a wide range of welding skills to future employers. This program increases your marketability and knowledge of the welding trade and provides a good understanding of the safety practices relevant to the work performed. Welders are always going to be in demand in the manufacturing industry of Ontario because of how important they are to the manufacturing process. Most of the basic welding skills are the same across all industries, so welders are able to shift from one industry to the next – meaning that there is always a constant supply of work.
