Apprentice Programs

Every member of the G.L.M. family shares the recognition that it is essential for companies like G.L.M. ensure there is a constant pool of skilled labour. Already, there is a lack of skilled personnel in some of the trades, including welding, the backbone of G.L.M.'s production.

Our company is working closely with the trades, by doing such things as supporting a steel fabricators' course, and has an aggressive apprenticeship program.

In 2005, for example, more than half the welding apprentices in Saskatchewan were in G.L.M.'s program. The company provides on-going training and education in new techniques, and encourages all its employees to become certified in their area of expertise. Today the company employs more than 100 apprentices in the system, apprenticing in such trades as welding, crane operating, and painting and coating.
