Steps To Apprenticeship

1. To become an apprentice it's a good idea if you complete your high school diploma and make sure that you don't drop Math, English or Science. Employers like to know that their apprentices have taken these subjects and have a good grasp of these concepts.
2. Focus on what trade you want to enter into, whether it's the construction, service, industrial or motive power trade.
3. You must find an employer who wants to hire you as an apprentice. Then you or the employer must contact the Ministry of Education and Training Apprenticeship office, so that it can be determined if a high standard of training can be established by the employer. A contract must then be signed by the employer and the apprentice for registration purposes, then the training can begin.
4. As an apprentice you must complete 80% of training on the job and 20% of training in school, and you must prove that you are competent in the skills described in the standards set by the trade you are in. Once on the job and classroom training have been completed all apprentices must write an exam for certification and obtain a minimum score of 60%.
