Become a Boilermaker Apprentice

Are you interested in becoming an apprentice Boilermaker or apprentice Welder?

You’ll get paid while you learn on the job. Once you graduate, you’ll be a journeyperson earning top wages (up to $55 per hour) and benefits, including Canada’s best health and welfare plan and an industry-leading pension plan.

During your apprenticeship training, you’ll follow a national core curriculum, learning the standards of our trade that will let you move from province to province when you earn your journeyperson’s Red Seal certificate.

From the early days of steamships and locomotives, our union has been a leader in apprenticeship training and skills upgrading for journeypersons. Once you’ve graduated, you can attend ongoing skills-upgrading courses at one of our local training centres. Our training courses cover all aspects of safety and many trade-related subjects, such as welding, rigging and supervision just to name a few.
