ENGLISH ESPAÑOL MENU CRAFTS COURSES CENTERS SCHEDULE BECOME A CARPENTER MILLWRIGHT Millwrights are an elite group who work primarily with metal constructing and who install, inspect, dismantle, repair, reassemble and move heavy machinery. If you like to work with machine tools and precision instruments and have a keen eye for the perfect fit and a good grasp of mathematics, this craft might be for you. Millwrights sometimes work to specifications requiring tolerances to a thousandth of an inch. They install escalators, giant electrical turbines and generators; perform maintenance on machinery in factories; and do much of the precision work in nuclear power plants. Millwrights are also skilled construction mechanics who study and interpret blueprints, then put their knowledge and expertise to work drilling, welding, bolting and doing whatever else is necessary to assure that the cogs of industry are in perfect working order. 5 years sponsored apprenticeship 800 hours professional training + 6,500 hours on-the-job training $68,700+ earning potential Discover the courses I think the apprenticeship program is so valuable because it gives you a great sense of self worth. It feels good to learn a good trade that pays well and is needed. —Israel Martinez Load more KEEP EXPLORING See all crafts INSULATOR (IS) LATHER MODULAR FURNISHING INSTALLER PILE DRIVER READY TO GET STARTED?
