The Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Construction Trades: Millwrighting program is designed to provide knowledge and skills in the millwrighting trade. Coursework includes courses in millwrighting and welding. Specifically, the courses train apprentices to safely handle both shop and field jobs, to lay out and erect industrial machinery, to operate welding equipment, and to design, install, turbines, optics, conveyor systems, solar installation, and operate systems inherent to the millwrighting trade. Upon the completion of this apprenticeship program, students are considered journey men in the millwrighting trade.
Details
