The Purple Ribbon Campaign aims to raise money for local food banks while showing gratitude to Essential Workers.

The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers has announced the 2021 Scholarship Program across North America with $12,000 designated to Canadian students.

National Training would like to announce that we will be offering an online Red Seal coaching program for the trade of Boilermaker. If you have completed your apprenticeship and have not successfully passed your Red Seal exam you are eligible to join the program. As well, if you meet your provincial requirements to challenge the Red Seal Boilermaker exam you are eligible for this program.

Through a series of online assessments, assignments, and one on one coaching this interactive course will allow you the flexibility to learn from your home while still gaining the knowledge and confidence to successfully challenge the Red Seal exam.

If you are interested, contact your Local training coordinator.
