456A Welder Apprentice

Trades for Tomorrow is a Group Sponsor program managed by the Merit OpenShop Contractors Association of Ontario and funded by the Government of Ontario. Our goal is to help apprentices complete their training, pass their Certificate of Qualification examinations (where applicable) and become fully licensed Journeypersons.

We are looking to place apprentices in the Welding (456A) trade in open positions across the province. Candidates must be driven, focused, and prepared to follow instructions given by their assigned Journeyperson.

Upon successful completion of the apprenticeship training program and passing the Certificate of Qualification exam, a Welder permanently joins pieces of metal or manufactured parts using metal filler and heat and/or pressure; builds structures and repairs broken or cracked parts according to specifications; and carries out special processes, such as welding studs and brazing. Specifically, a Welder:

• lays out, cuts, and forms metals to specifications
• fits sub-assemblies and assemblies together and preparing assemblies for welding
• uses three major types of welding: arc, gas, and resistance
• uses various welding and cutting processes to join structural steel and cut metal in vessels, piping and other components
• fabricates parts, tools, machines and equipment
• joins parts being manufactured, builds structures and repairs damaged or worn parts
• controls for quality before, during and after welding

Welding is one of Canada’s Red Seal Trades.
