BASIC FACTS
To get started
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"To be a millwright you need four years of an apprenticeship. To get your apprenticeship you should have a mechanical background. I apprenticed originally as a machinist for another company and that helped me get my apprenticeship in this one."
"It's good to have either pre-employment* before you get your apprenticeship or a few years of mechanical experience."
*Note: A pre-employment program provides you with entry-level skills to help prepare you for employment. You will be introduced to the industry and the apprenticeship program. You will gain practical experience using various tools and safety regulations will likely be emphasized.
