Nipissing helped launch welding career
Greetings/Ahnii:
In 2004-2005 with the help of Nipissing First Nation Employment & Training I graduated from Canadore College in the Welder Fitter Program and started my apprenticeship.
I worked in the metal fabricating industry in North Bay and landed a job with Cementation Canada lnc. a mining company. I have been with them for two years as a welder, repairing mobile gear such as scoops1 haul trucks and raise equipment.
This job takes me away from my home in North Bay for weeks at a time to where I work in Thompson, Manitoba. The money and experience is worth the time away.
I strongly urge people interested in such a career to just go for it. I work for one of Canada’s best companies as they treat their employees really good. I truly enjoy my job. Thanks for all your help.
