Norseman Construction in partnership with Printerra and Build a Dream, is launching Toronto’s first 8-week, in-person training program devoted to Additive Construction. 

• Experienced tradespeople will gain hands-on skills with:
  
• 3D Construction Printing (3DCP) – fast, precise concrete structures
  
• Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) – high-performance, energy-efficient envelopes
  
• Advanced modular wall systems – prefabricated components for flexible design

The robust hands-on and classroom curriculum also teaches you how to read blueprints created for additive construction through the Revit® software, and it includes Health & Safety training/certification needed for workers in the construction industry with a focus on 3DCP scope of work.

What You’ll Learn

• Operate 3D construction printers and other 3DCP equipment on construction sites
• Work with and around 3D printed concrete walls
• Install modular wall systems (SIP) on traditional and 3DCP construction sites
• Integrate 3DCP and SIPs into hybrid builds that are rapid, strong, and sustainable

Who Should Apply

• Tradespeople and general labourers with construction experience
  
• Displaced or underemployed workers looking to re-enter the workforce
• Women and individuals from underrepresented groups in the trades

Program Highlights

• Free, full-time training over 8 weeks (Monday to Friday, in person)
  
• Small cohorts (16–17 participants) for focused, hands-on instruction
  
• Real-world tools, materials, and training aligned with emerging construction methods
  
• Job placement support upon completion, helping graduates enter advanced
  construction roles

Your commitment

• An 8-week, full-day course held five days a week at York University.

When

• There will be three cohorts starting in August, October, and December. 

Why It Matters

Ontario’s housing and infrastructure sectors urgently need skilled workers trained in next-generation construction technologies. This program directly responds to that need by preparing participants with modern, high-demand skills that employers are actively seeking. Led by Norseman Construction in partnership with Printerra and Build a Dream, this initiative offers more than just training — it’s an opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, and career growth in the skilled trades.
