Graduate opportunities

Students who complete both their in-school and work placement requirements may be employed in small machining shops or in advanced manufacturing industries as a machinist, tooling inspector, or tool and die maker. Students completing both the in-class and work hour requirements of their apprenticeship would likely continue to work with the companies who sponsored their work hour requirements; however, students may choose to find alternative employment with companies that may include areas such as machinery, equipment, motor vehicle, automotive parts, aircraft and other metal products manufacturing companies, mould making, and machine shops (including electrical and plastics).
