George Brown’s Welding Techniques program prepares students with practical, hands-on experience that applies the technical theory and elements of the welding field. Students articulate their technical and essential employability skills through an e-portfolio, based on skill development throughout the program.

At the end of this intense, two-semester program, students will have the opportunity to challenge the shielded metal arc weld test, in accordance with CSA W47.1/W59 standards, in a position(s) of their choosing through the Canadian Welders Bureau. (This test will be voluntary and at an extra cost to the student.)

This experiential program will provide you the skills to master five of the most common types of welding processes: Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), Plasma Arc and Oxyfuel Cutting and Fabrication.

What You’ll Learn

  • Perform work responsibly and in compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and industry processes and procedures, including demonstrating learned knowledge of WHMIS.
  • Interpret engineering drawings and blueprints to produce basic graphics and welding projects as required by industry.
  • Select, plan and demonstrate sustainable metal fabrication operations using industrial metal fabrication machinery and emerging technologies.
  • Perform basic technical measurements and welding functions accurately, using appropriate equipment and welding techniques.
  • Create welds on various types of materials and joints in the major welding positions to industrial standards and codes.
  • Use shop tools and equipment to manufacture, assemble, maintain and repair components according to required specifications and industry standards.
  • Interact effectively and professionally in shop environments, both independently and with fellow workers and other tradespeople.
  • Assess weld quality and implement corrective action where required to follow quality control and quality assurance procedures and meet organizational standards and requirements.
  • Create a professional development plan that addresses one’s strengths and areas for growth in the greater context of the welder profession.

I enrolled in the Analytics for Business Decision Making course at George Brown College in 2021, hoping to gain the skills necessary to thrive in the rapidly growing field of data analytics. While the course provided a foundational understanding of data analysis and business decision-making, I found the content to be somewhat lacking in depth and relevance to the current job market.

The course covered basic concepts in data analytics, including data processing, statistical analysis, and data visualization. It also introduced tools like Excel and SQL, which are essential for any data analyst. However, the curriculum felt outdated and did not delve deeply into more advanced and industry-relevant tools and techniques such as Python, R, or machine learning algorithms, which are highly sought after by employers today.

While there were some hands-on projects, they were often simplistic and did not simulate real-world business problems effectively. The lack of exposure to complex, real-life datasets and scenarios meant that the practical skills gained were not useful at all.
