Machinists are in high demand in western Canada—from the oil patch to power utilities, from manufacturing facilities to mines, mills and chemical plants. The job demands both problem-solving and creativity to machine parts to blueprint specifications. Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Machinist certificate program can fast-track students into the workforce, and give them a head start on apprenticeship.
