Provincial Advisory Committee (PAC)

About The Provincial Advisory Committees

PAC’s are appointed by the Apprenticeship and Certification Board and are responsible for giving the Board advice on the skill and training standards required for their respective trades.
These committees:

  • determine the qualifications and experience required for certification in their designated trades,
  • recommend upgrading standards and the endorsement of certificates of qualification for people who meet the required standards and
  • provide input into the content of regulations made or proposed to their trades.

All PACs include equal representation from employers and employees and a neutral chair.
If you would like to serve on a PAC, contact Apprenticeship Manitoba for an application or download the application. As member's terms expire, the Apprenticeship and Certification Board seeks names of qualified candidates to serve as either an employer or employee representative on the PAC committee of their respective trade.
