Students may work in non restricted trades such as
Cook, Farm Equipment Mechanic, LandscaperGreenskeeper, Early Childhood Education, and
Small Engine Mechanic without pursuing
apprenticeship. Legislation for these trades do not
make apprenticeship / licensing mandatory to be
working in these areas.
Restricted trades such as Hairstylist and
Automotive Service Technician do require a
student to be registered as an apprentice or to be a
licensed journeyperson to perform the majority of
tasks inherent in these trades
What is Apprenticeship?

A way of learning a skilled trade from a
professional tradesperson, also called a
journeyperson
 80 – 90% of training occurs on the job where
the apprentice learns by watching, practicing
and performing tasks under the supervision of
a certified journeyperson
 10 – 20% is theoretical, in-school or classroom
training usually taught by a college or other
approved training institute
What is On-the-Job
Training?
Learning by doing
 Hands on
 Trained by an experienced
journeyperson
 Training in up-to-date new
technologies
 Mastering skills to industry
performance standards

What is In-School
Training?
Registered apprentices take time away from their
work to attend school, usually a community college;
 This training is usually done in 3 eight week blocks
of time
 Here the apprentice learns the theory (math,
science and communication skills) to support their
work
 In-school delivery can also happen through night
school, day release or through the internet
 NEW! Apprentices pay $400 classroom fees per
level starting August 2002 …
