RED SEAL Welding Program 2016

WWETB are delighted to showcase the welders who recently undertook the second Red Seal Welding Program, September 2015 to March 2016. The programme is a collaboration between the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers (Canada) and Waterford Wexford Educational Training Board (WWETB). The programme was designed to prequalify boilermaker welders to work in Canada on regular maintenance shutdowns of their heavy industrial plants in the Spring and Fall. Alberta Industry Training (AIT) and ABSA (the pressure equipment safety authority) carry out all Industry Testing at our Training Facility on the Industrial Estate.

Many of the welders pictured here are ready for the Spring turnaround which is due to commence shortly.

The Interprovincial (IP) Red Seal Certificate of Qualification Examination evaluates the ability to perform skills within the trade thereby offering our welders greater mobility across the Canadian provinces and territories to maintain continual employment and growth.

The best of luck to all our successful Red Seal Welders in their future endeavours. If you require further information please do not hesitate to contact: infotraining@wwetb.ie
