This program provides the technical training component of the Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) apprenticeship, also serving Machinist apprentices, at College of New Caledonia's Prince George and Quesnel campuses for apprentices registered with a sponsoring employer through SkilledTradesBC. Training is delivered across four sequential in-class levels totalling several weeks of classroom instruction, with a full year of work-based training hours recommended between levels. Coursework covers safe work practices, lubrication systems, anchoring and levelling, coupling alignment, mechanical drawings, welding, rigging, hydraulic systems, and pump maintenance, with the final level including preparation for the Red Seal certification exam. Completing all levels and required work-based hours builds toward Red Seal certification, allowing tradespeople to work across Canada with potential international recognition. The trade covers maintaining, installing and repairing stationary industrial equipment across manufacturing, natural resources, recreation, and transportation sectors. Admission requires the applicant to have employer sponsorship confirmed with SkilledTradesBC before applying to attend technical training at the college. The program suits people already employed as industrial mechanic or machinist apprentices who need to complete the in-class technical training levels required alongside their workplace experience to progress toward full Red Seal qualification in their chosen trade.
