Apprenticeship

What is an Apprenticeship?
It’s a hands-on training program for people who want to work in a skilled trade (e.g. plumbing, car repair or cooking). Training is about 90% on-the-job and 10% in-class.

  • Many trades people have above-average job security and pay
  • Trades can provide great job satisfaction. When you work in a trade, you use your hands as well as your brain to solve problems and make things happen.
