An Excellent Post-Secondary Option Apprenticeship Apprenticeship is a form of post-secondary education like university or college…but there is MORE! Apprentices learn skills in a classroom, AND receive paid, on-the-job training with an employer: – Apprentices spend 40-44 weeks a year on the job and go to school 6-8 weeks. – An apprenticeship takes 2-5 years to complete. – Apprentices earn a salary on the job from the first day. – Apprentices receive a Certificate of Qualification in a designated trade.
• Apprenticeship is a post secondary option that combines on-the-job training with technical in-class training to become a highly skilled tradesperson. • An apprentice is someone who is learning a trade and has a formal training contract with a sponsor. • The contract is called a Registered Training Agreement . • A sponsor is the person, group, or organization responsible for providing the training experiences. • A journeyperson is someone who is fully certified in their trade, can perform all the work in that trade without supervision, and can train new apprentices.
