在该程序中，您将学习如何通过加热，使用填充材料或熔融工艺永久性地连接金属件。您接合正在制造的零件，构成结构的零件或损坏或磨损的零件。您还将学习各种焊接和切割工艺，以将结构钢和切割金属连接到容器，管道和其他组件中。焊工是很好的解决问题的人，具有机械和数学方面的才能和良好的计划能力。在此角色下，您将阅读和解释设计图和焊接工艺规范，了解冶金和规范，并了解在不同的焊接工艺中使用不同设备的有效性。焊接和金属加工都是为期两年的课程，在第一年共享相同的课程。这两个计划都提供强大的学徒制，并且两个计划的毕业生通常最终并肩
In this program, you learn how to permanently join pieces of metal by applying heat, using filler material or fusion process. You join parts that are being manufactured, form part of a structure or are damaged or worn. You also learn various welding and cutting processes to join structural steel and cut metal in vessels, piping and other components. Welders are good problem-solvers who have mechanical and mathematical aptitude and good planning skills.<br>In this program, you read and interpret blueprints and welding process specifications, gain knowledge of metallurgy and codes, and learn about the effectiveness of using different equipment for different welding processes.<br>Welding and Metal Fabrication are both two-year programs that share the same courses in the first year. Both programs offer strong apprenticeship tracks and graduates from both programs often end up working side-by-side.<br>Career options<br>Graduates work for a wide variety of industries and companies. They're employed by structural steel and manufacturing plants, heavy machinery companies, and the construction and shipbuilding sectors.<br>Learn more about labour market information. View career options<br>Future study options<br>Graduates may register as an apprentice with the Nova Scotia Apprenticeship Agency (NSAA) once employed. Apprenticeship is an optional but beneficial journey that combines on-the-job-learning with technical training.<br>Red Seal Endorsement - individuals who complete an apprenticeship program are eligible to write the inter-provincial exam. A Red Seal allows certified tradespeople to practice the trade in any province or territory in Canada where the trade is designated.
