A state-of-the-art international training facility is operated at the UBC’s International Training Center, giving millwrights and instructors access to modern equipment and tools upon which to hone their craft. Training is also done in both classroom and hands-on settings at our Training Centre in Sarnia.

APPRENTICESHIPS and skill-upgrade classes for Journeyman expand skills and keep professionals on the cutting edge of innovations in materials and techniques. We offer customized training if a project needs it, and we provide training onsite, if that’s what it takes.

Educated, experienced foremen and superintendents are the key to jobsite productivity. Specialized training programs help experienced millwrights sharpen their supervisory skills. We build on a millwright’s on-the-job experience by adding leadership skills to help them motivate workers, communicate effectively and solve problems.
