Quality Work

Quality Work via Quality Training

At the UBC’s International Training Center, Southern States Millwrights hone additional skills in confined space and pumps. They also gain skills by working with two 25-ton overhead bridge cranes and four 20-ton overhead bridge cranes.

At the core of every training course and on the minds of every jobsite crew is safety. A safe work site is achieved only by comprehensive training for every millwright on every project. A full line of safety courses and qualifications are offered to our millwrights every year.

We spend millions of dollars each year to train our thousands of millwrights—from first-year apprentices to Superintendents. Manpower shortages plaguing our region are alleviated by Southern States Millwrights, thanks to our standardized training and mobility, so that every millwright arrives at every job site with the same set of superior skills.

As a result, Southern States Millwrights are regarded as being the best trained and most well-prepared for any project in any location.
For instance:

In response to the rise in manufacturing plant automation, our Mechatronics Technician training program now develops skills needed to assemble, program, operate, and maintain the mechanical, electronic, and computing components of robotics.

Our training is continuously being upgraded and expanded per industry trends, but here’s a sampling of training courses already being offered:
