Apprenticeship is your ticket to a challenging and rewarding career in the skilled trades!
Apprenticeship is a work based post-secondary training program that leads to a Certificate of Qualification in a skilled trade. Most trade programs take 2-4 years to complete and they combine approximately 80 percent paid-on-the job training with 20 percent technical training in the classroom. Knowing the three E's is your key to understanding apprenticeship programming.
| Experience | Work based training with an employer is 80 percent of an apprenticeship program | Once you successfully complete all three of these components in your specific trade program, you will receive a Certificate of Qualification in your trade. |
| Education | Technical Training in the classroom is 20 percent of an apprenticeship program | |
| Exam | Successfully passing the final exam is the final step to achieving journeyperson status |
The apprenticeship program can lead you down a path to an exciting career and financial success. Apprenticeship programs are work based (you earn while you learn) and the cost of training for the majority of programs is only $464 - $696 per year.
