The Mechanical Technician – Welding Fitter program is an Ontario College Diploma delivered over three semesters at Northern College's Kirkland Lake campus. Students train in industrial machinery diagnosis, installation, and maintenance alongside metal fabrication and welding techniques used across mining and manufacturing settings. Coursework covers computer-assisted drafting, precision measurement, and shop safety protocols applied to a range of fabrication shapes and materials, including plate, pipe, and structural steel. Hands-on shop training builds proficiency in reading and interpreting technical drawings, selecting appropriate welding processes, and fitting components to specification. Graduates are prepared for entry-level roles as welder-fitters, fabricators, and maintenance mechanics in heavy industry. The program is delivered fully on-campus with practical lab and shop components integrated throughout the three semesters.
