Canadian Government Support For CNC Machining Programs

Canadian Government Support For CNC Machining ProgramsMinister of State for Western Economic Diversification, the Honourable Michelle Rempel, made an announcement that they would spend $935,000 for CAHRD (The Centre for Aboriginal Human Resource Development) to support CNC ( Computer Numerical Control ) skills acquisition for Indigenous students.

This government funded project, under the aegis of the Western Diversification Program, will secure financial backing for CAHRD to acquire the necessary equipment for providing “cutting-edge” CNC Operator training. The program is designed to solve an issue of growing labour shortage, especially in the aerospace and manufacturing arena. CAHRD is cooperating with the industry to develop and provide the training program, so that the graduates can head into the workforce straight away.

The program is offered at Neeginan College of Applied Technology, the post-secondary training institution of CAHRD and in Manitoba, it is the first of the comprehensive and direct CNC Operator training program. CAHRD is cooperating with Monarch Industries to establish integrated production system of manufactured articles as an integral part of the training, and to give work experience opportunity for their students.

Summary of program:

* The program is designed to train CNC machine operators who can use this equipment for cutting, shaping and drilling aluminum and steel for many different manufacturing operations.

* The manufacturing industry is the major industrial arena in Manitoba. It takes up about 11 % of the total GDP and directly responsible for one in eight employment in Manitobans.

* Approximately 5,300 workers in Manitoba are employed directly in the aerospace industry.

* It is estimated that the indigenous population in Manitoba will take up 18 to 21 % of total population by the year of 2031. It will be around 16% increase from 2006. The increasing population indicates important labour force.

* The post-secondary educational institution of CAHRD, Neeginan College of Applied Technology provides certified vocational training program. Almost 1200 of the Neeginan College graduates obtain employment every year.

Improved education in CNC Machining will setup a talent pool the industry can rely on, and the hiring companies can attain more international business based upon these skilled workers.

Endorsement for this vital initiative will promote economic opportunities for indigenous people in Canada. This can lead as an example for other provinces.

CNC: An Ontario Machine Shop’s Answer to High Manufacturing Demand


Canadian manufacturing continues its slow, but steady, growth. Shop Metalworking Technology, the premier magazine for Canadian metal works and manufacturing industries, says that new export orders went up to 54.5 percent this December, compared to October’s 51.3 percent, thanks to gains made in the U.S. economy and the Canadian dollar. Industry experts are convinced that this growth will persist throughout the rest of 2014, and perhaps the first quarter of next year.

Expert Industrial Millwright Services Will Keep Canada’s Oil Pumping


Canada’s energy industry comprises nearly seven percent of the country’s gross domestic product. One of the important components of the industry is the massive pipelines that help deliver oil across the continent. Right now, there are several upcoming pipeline projects slated to begin in the near future. One of them is a pipeline suggested by TransCanada that is supposed to pump over 1.1 billion barrels of oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan to the Eastern Canadian states. With all of this industrial activity, it is no surprise that reliable industrial millwright services like Central Machine and Marine would be needed to help with this expansion. Oil pipelines are major projects that require a lot of metal parts and components to build entire systems. Having a team ready to fabricate the needed parts makes the construction and maintenance of an oil pipeline proceed on schedule.

Established Ontario Machine Shop Can Help the Petrochemical Industry


Oil and natural gas are top fuels that drive several industries today. That’s why it’s important for them to have widespread distribution, whether via oil tankers, roads, or railways; however, the safest and most efficient way to transport oil is via pipelines, which avoids the dangers of spills and derailments. To keep these pipelines in great shape will require the services of a leading fabrication and machine shop in Ontario like Central Machine and Marine.

Skilled Industrial Millwright Services Restore Ships to Working Shape


Cargo shipping is one of the backbones of many modern industries. Container ships ply the seaways with tons of cargo that is used for commercial and industrial purposes; however, the sea can do a lot of damage to a ship. That’s why timely ship repair services are needed to keep these key vessels running. Reliable industrial millwright services from companies like Central Machine and Marine are able to do the necessary repairs needed by damaged ships. Their services can range from propeller repairs to hull patching.

Why Quality is a Given for Established Ontario Machine Shop Welders


Few industrial processes are as important to modern life as welding; it is why we have cars on the road and metal bridges like the Blackfriars Street Bridge in Ontario, to name just a few. It makes sense that if you’re going to have some welding done, you’ll want to be assured of the highest quality. An article by Great Falls Tribune writer Peter Johnson reveals why you can look forward to exactly that when you consult established Ontario machine shop welders, like those from Central Machine and Marine.

Quality Parts, Systems, and Ship Repair Services: Sea-worthy Virtues


Many incidents, whether on land and sea are avoidable, and professionals operating machines down to the smallest systems cannot underestimate their role nor can producers of parts into whole units of vehicles underrate the costs of quality slackens at any stage of the manufacturing process. Engine room fires occur in both passenger and non-passenger ships and, luckily for the Canadian ship, the HMCS Protecteur, which got disabled in March, rescue arrived timely enough to take crew members and their family aboard another ship to safety.
