Humber’s Mechanical Techniques - Construction Boilermaker Apprenticeship program provides the required technical and in-school training for a boilermaker apprentice.

Boilermakers are skilled tradespeople who work in the heavy industry sector.  This sector includes steel mills, oil refineries, cement plants, pulp and paper mills, and power generation including nuclear power plants, hydro electric generation, coal fired boilers and co-generation power plants.  Boilermakers also work on the pollution control systems in these plants.

Boilermakers require a high degree of technical skill and knowledge along with good communication and mathematical skills. Physical strength and stamina will give you an advantage as well as the ability to work at great heights or in confined spaces.

To enrol into this program, you must be a registered Boilermaker apprentice through Skills Ontario.

Apprenticeships are not available to international applicants.
