Apprenticeship

What is apprenticeship?

  • Apprenticeship, to put it simply, is an opportunity to earn while you learn. If you want a career in a skilled trade, apprenticeship is the best way to get there. You'll combine on–the–job training with on–campus learning so you'll have the best of both worlds when it comes to learning the skills you need to get ahead. And you earn a paycheck while you learn those skills.

For future apprentices - How do I become an apprentice? How do I apply?

  • Application procedures vary from trade to trade, geographically, and in the construction, industrial, and service sectors.
  • For industrial sector trades, you apply directly to the employer or company that you want to work for that sponsors the apprenticeship program for the trade you're interested in. The employer determines the criteria to place applicants into the program. Click on the trade you're interested in below.
