Apprenticeship
What is an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship combines on-the-job training under the supervision of a qualified tradesperson and classroom training at a training establishment.
About 80 per cent of an apprentice’s training takes place on the job. The other 20 per cent involves technical training usually provided at or through a post-secondary training establishment, such as a college or union-approved training facility.
What’s in it for me?
- An opportunity to learn and build skills
- Certification in a trade, many of which are in very high demand
- Flexible schedule for work and training
- An opportunity to earn while you learn
