Welders build BC's infrastructure — bridges, pipelines, marine vessels, LNG facilities, and high-rises. Skilled welders are scarce and employers pay for quality.
Welding apprenticeships are available across multiple sectors — construction, marine, industrial, and manufacturing.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), basic joint types, safety, blueprint reading, and metallurgy basics.
GMAW, GTAW (TIG), flux-core welding. Commercial and structural applications.
Final technical training and CofQ exam. Specializations available in pressure welding, pipe welding, and underwater welding.
Canada-wide recognition. Pipeline and industrial employers often require Red Seal for higher-paying contracts.
