Our Training Partner: Tec-Voc High School
Tec-Voc High School is committed to work with the community
and various industry partners to provide a safe, positive and caring educational
environment. The staff of Tec Voc encourage the growth and development of individuals
who will be adaptive lifelong learners, people who are able to function productively
in a rapidly changing world. In order to achieve this mission, the school provides
a diversified set of up-to-date academic and technical-vocational programs
focused on helping students acquire employability skills as well as those skills
essential for post secondary education and training.
Aerospace Manufacturing Machining and Maintenance
Orientation Program (AMMOP)
While AMMOP allows students to obtain 5 credits in aerospace related courses
and complete a regular grade 12/S4, the program is also open to people aged
17 to 30 who have completed Grade 12/S4. The course provides an orientation
to the aerospace industry and gives students enhanced qualifications to apply
for entry into aerospace related programs at Stevenson Aviation and Aerospace
Training Centre at Red River College. Successful completion of AMMOP may give
students an increased chance of employment in the aerospace industry upon graduation.
This program can also assist students who wish to pursue a Mechanical Engineering
Degree with an Aerospace Option at the University of Manitoba.
AMMOP is certified by the Canadian Aviation Maintenance Council (CAMC), an
industry led organization that sets national standards, develops curriculum
and accredits training institutions as part of its mandate to develop a human
resources strategy for the aviation manufacturing and maintenance sector
in Canada. An advisory committee from Industry and the Department of Education
also monitors the course.
The course includes:
- three weeks (120 hours) of work experience
- aerodynamics and electrical basics
- components and functions of aircraft
- gas turbine orientation
- blueprint reading
- machine technology
- computer applications
- inspection and hand tools
- aircraft sheet metal technology
- applied mathematics
- mentorship
- health and safety on the work site

Machining
Take flight into a bright future. This is an exciting program that offers
the opportunity to design and create as well as develop skills in a marketable
trade. Metal Technologies is proud to offer a wide range of machining skills
through a "hands-on" approach to modern training.
The course includes:
- measurement and layout
- blueprint reading and drawing
- fitting and assembling
- general operation and safe control of machine tools such as power saws,
drill presses, lathes, milling machines, grinders, CNC (computer
numerical control)
machines, as well as precision measuring instruments
- general welding operations including: oxy-acetylene, arc, MIG and
TIG welding
- sheet metal techniques
- aircraft structure and design
- quality control management systems
Students learn how to interpret a project drawing, accurately transfer
measurements and using precise machining tools, shape and
form raw metal into useful products.
Instruction on state of the art computers is included in
the advanced course of Computer Numerically Controlled (C.N.C) Machining.
Any student who successfully completes this program with a passing
grade of 70% or more, and registers, as an apprentice within
one year of completing
this program will be granted credit for Level 1 Machinist
of the Apprenticeship Program. An advisory committee from Industry
and
the Department of
Education monitors the course.
RV-6A
Back to top
The RV-6A is an actual 2 seater, all metal aircraft that students and mentors
are building from scratch in partnership with Murdoch MacKay Collegiate right
in the Metals in Aerospace shops. This is an exciting and ambitious addition
to the program and upon completion, this aircraft will fly! Students have the
opportunity to acquire the skills associated with aircraft design, structure
and construction while using a "hands-on" method of learning. This
training begins at the senior 2 level and will be ongoing until its satisfactory
completion.

Welding
Welding is used in the manufacturing or repair and overhaul process of almost
everything made of metal: aircraft; automobiles, commercial kitchens, construction,
farm and industrial machinery and in the transportation industry. The welding
of modern, sophisticated alloys requires newly developed high tech welding
processes. The Welding program at Tec Voc will teaches these new welding techniques.
The three-year welding program includes a variety of production experiences
in order to explore the many areas of welding. The courses in welding are
intended to provide choices for educational and career opportunities. Graduates
can
further their education at community college or university or find employment
in: aircraft industry construction, farm machinery manufacturing, maintenance
welding, metal fabrication, pressure welding, welding inspectors, welding
instruction, and welding supplies sales.
