Millwright
This is a 300-hour course that prepares students to work in metal and machinery with ever-increasing technology and precision. Millwrights install, align, and troubleshoot machinery in factories and power plants. Most often millwrights provide the precision machinery required in nuclear power plants and other industrial sites. Millwrights installs conveyor systems, connects machinery to power supplies and piping, direct hoisting and setting of machines, and adjusts the moving and stationary parts of machines to certain specifications. Millwrights must be extremely skilled at mathematics and interpreting blueprints and specifications to set machines to perfect measurements, sometimes working with clearances no bigger than thousandths of an inch. Students who successfully complete this course will receive a certificate from NCCER in Millwright Levels 1 and 2.
Job Placement
The instructors and program manager monitor student daily attendance, the ability to adhere to safety rules, use of hand tools, use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), housekeeping, teamwork, and conduct. All students must obtain a TWIC Card. This program is designed to empower the students to be accountable for their own success in the industrial field. NBRITI students and graduates receive ongoing support with job placement in industry.
