What is an Apprenticeship?
|
An apprenticeship is a form of job training that enables you to learn by doing. As an apprentice you work under the supervision of a person skilled in the job you wish to learn. That individual teaches you how to do the work. As part of all apprenticeships, there is an in-school educational component. This educational component is provided at one of the colleges in Ontario.
There are many paths to becoming an apprentice. The traditional approach to becoming an apprentice is to find an employer willing to teach you the trade and then contact the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and officially register as an apprentice. The educational component of your apprenticeship may be taken at one of the publicly-funded colleges |
Any student considering an apprenticeship should strongly consider taking part in the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP). The coop program works closely with the OYAP program.
