Pathways: Apprenticeships
An apprenticeship is a form of training that teaches the skills needed to do a specific job in the trades and involves hands-on learning under the direction of a professional.
Training combines alternating periods of paid work (80 to 85%) and technical training (15 to 20%).
Technical training can occur in person or online.
Once an apprentice completes the hours required hours by a trade, they will be able to write an exam.
You are able to begin completing your apprenticeship while you are still in high school which is way easier!
Contact your Guidance Counsellor in grade 10 or 11 to register for OYAP.
