Build a career working with machinery
Sheridan's 24-week program provides FREE hands-on training and assistance with paid on-the-job experience. This program is designed as a transition step towards an apprenticeship in the trades.
What is a millwright?
Millwrights assemble, install, maintain and troubleshoot industrial machinery and equipment. They work in industries like resources, nuclear, food processing, forestry, automotive and pharmaceutical. These tasks require an understanding of how machines work and how to repair and maintain them.
How do I become a millwright?
