Patternmakers, Foundrymen, Moulders and Core-makers are a few of the specialisation outcomes of the casting and moulding fabrication trade. These professionals work with a number of materials to create moulds or casts for manufacturing anything from wheels to bulldozer blades, as will you during your Casting and Moulding Apprenticeship.
An apprenticeship in Casting and Moulding will set you up for a career in the Engineering Fabrication trade. Moulders and Casters are often employed within the mining, quarry and forestry industries making moulds for the structural frames of large machines and equipment. Beyond your moulding apprenticeship there are opportunities to proceed into a number of positions including (but not limited to) supervisor, foreperson, foundry engineer, and foundry technician metallurgist.
This trade requires a four-year apprenticeship. MIGAS will facilitate your practical work placement with one of our quality host employers. In addition to on-the-job training, we will assist you with enrolment through a Registered Training Organisation to complete your certification. With MIGAS you will be fully supported throughout the duration of your placement by a Field Officer and by the wider MIGAS Apprentices and Trainees community.
