Internationally trained welders who want to practice their trade in Ontario can now access a new bridging program to bring their skills up to Canadian standards.
Launched last fall, WeldUp is an initiative of Skills for Change and CWB Group targeting newcomers with training or a background in welding but not currently working in the field. The program aims to ease the path for eligible newcomers looking to return to the trade by overcoming common barriers such as lack of Canadian experience or certification.
WeldUp is being offered through its trades program in partnership with CWB Group, which certifies welders and welding companies across the country, in addition to administering the Canadian industry codes and standards. The program offers two pathways: an intermediate pathway for those with one to two years of welding experience and an advanced pathway for those with more than two years of experience.
Both pathways require completing hands-on training at a CWB training site in Milton, with additional online training and preparation for certification. WeldUp also provides wraparound supports such as employment assistance, job search assistance, employment readiness workshops, and language referral services
