Yukon University's Millwright Pre-Apprenticeship program is a 17-week, on-campus certificate that trains students for entry-level work in the millwright trade. Instruction combines hands-on shop experience with trade theory, safety training, and the mathematics applied to industrial mechanics, covering the installation, maintenance, and repair of machinery used across Yukon industries. Students who complete the program with an overall average of at least 70 percent become eligible for technical credit toward the Yukon apprenticeship program in the trade. Entry requires the equivalent of Math 10 and English 10, or a passing score on the Level A Trades Entrance exam, along with good physical condition, hand-eye coordination, and appropriate work attire, including steel-toed shoes. The certificate is designed as a short, practical entry point for people preparing to enter a registered millwright apprenticeship, rather than as a stand-alone academic credential, and leads to a Yukon University certificate on completion.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires Math 10 or equivalent and English 10 or equivalent, or a passing score on the Level A Trades Entrance exam. Applicants must also be in good physical condition, show good hand-eye coordination, and supply their own suitable work clothes, including steel-toed work shoes. The programme page states no separate international language-test scores for this trades certificate; Yukon University's general policy requires every applicant to demonstrate English language proficiency, but no specific test tier is published for pre-apprenticeship certificates. The program is not currently accepting new applications.
