Find An Employer

In order to become registered as an apprentice, it is necessary to find an employer who is participating in the apprenticeship program.

Below is a listing of tips to help with your employer search.

Network, network, network!

Discover the “hidden” job market by going around to businesses that are in the trade of your interest
Ask you career counselor for advice. Consult with joint labour/management training boards, and trade associations to see if they know any employers who are looking for an apprentice
Tell everyone you know and everyone you meet that you are looking for a job
Carry a resume with you everywhere. Ask to speak with a manager/supervisor and leave your resume with them even if they are not hiring
Get the names and phone numbers of the employers and managers/supervisors that you’ve contacted. Follow-up with them after a couple of weeks. That tells them that you really want the job

Scan the classified ads in the newspapers or the internet. Some of the most popular on-line job boards include:
