Saugeen Sparks Training Centre in collaboration with the Canadian Welding Bureau (CWB), recently completed a one-week Mind Over Metal welding workshop where 20 participants honed their welding skills under the guidance of the Welding Bureau’s instructors and the Training Centre’s lead welding instructor.
At the conclusion of the workshop, the twenty participants were tested for their CWB-W47.1 flat and horizontal fillet weld qualifications using the Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) process.
Saugeen Sparks Training Centre is thrilled to announce that the class received a 100% pass rate with 18 participants obtaining their flat and horizontal fillet weld qualifications, while two participants successfully upgraded to the vertical and overhead welding qualification. Twelve of the workshop participants received their training at the Centre’s Night School classes while the majority of the other participants were students from the Bluewater District and Bruce-Grey Catholic School Boards.
The workshop 100% pass rate is an outstanding accomplishment that reflects the effectiveness of the training and the commitment of both instructors and participants from across the region.
Saugeen Sparks Training Centre would like to recognize and congratulate the following workshop participants:
Brent Sparrow, Mathew Blacklock, Greg Stroeder, Emma Graham, Natasha Holder, Natasha Smethurst, Carter Fry, Joey Bramma, Maverick Solomon, Tristan Jones, Edward Ladd, Emma Stade, Jake Shepstone, Kody Cook, David Zimmerman, AJ Cohen, Asadal Mitchell Park, Logan Kestner, Talan Hope and Cohen Wettlaufer.
WHAT’S NEXT
On July 15th 2024, fifteen students including eleven graduates of the recently concluded Canadian Welding Bureau program will participate in an intensive four week Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontario – Tomorrow’s Trades program that focuses on Welding.
After this program, students will be better prepared for apprenticeship opportunities as they will receive instruction and be tested for the CWB SMAW process vertical and overhead welding qualification. To further enhance their employability skills, students will also receive Health and Safety, Working at Heights and Confined Space Training, and will interact with several labour unions during the upcoming four week program.
