Welder - Apprenticeship in St. Lawrence College

Overview

The school of Skilled Trades at the Cornwall Campus offers the in-school study portion of the welder (456A) apprenticeship program for students already registered and working in the trade.

Apprentices are required to complete three levels of in-school training together with the required on-the-job or practical components of the trade. Upon successful completion of all the contract requirements, apprentices are eligible to write the Certificate of Qualification exam.

Students also have the opportunity to challenge the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB) certification in several welding processes. This allows graduates to provide employers with proof of CWB certification.

This program is funded in part by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development

Highlights

This program is considered a Red Seal trade (see www.red-seal.ca). Apprenticeship grants are designed to make a career in the trades an attractive choice and to encourage more apprentices to complete their training. Eligible apprentices could receive up to $4,000 which can be used to pay for tuition, travel, tools, or other expenses.

As per the Service Canada website, registered apprentices who have successfully finished their first or second year/level (or equivalent) in one of the Red Seal trades can apply for the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant (AIG) which is a taxable cash grant of $1,000 per year/level up to a maximum of $2,000. Registered apprentices who have completed their training, become a certified journeyperson in a designated Red Seal trade and who obtain either the Red Seal endorsement or a provincial or territorial Certificate of Qualification, can apply for the Apprenticeship Completion Grant (ACG) which is a taxable cash grant of $2,000.
