Destination Apprenticeship
Apprenticeship is a workplace-based
training program for people who want to
work in a skilled trade. About 90 percent of
apprenticeship training occurs in the
workplace under the supervision of skilled
tradespeople, while the remainder
involves classroom instruction, usually at a
post-secondary institution or other
approved training organization.
Apprentices are workers, so they can earn
while they learn.
