Q: How do I apply for an apprenticeship?

A: Applying for an apprenticeship role is like applying for any other job – you are job searching and looking for an employer who is open to taking on an apprentice.
We are here to help you:
Step 1: Choose your trade – we can help you explore your interests to determine which skilled trade is the right fit for you.
Step 2: Find an employer (sponsor) – This is an important step. You will need to find an employer who is willing to train you as an apprentice. We can help you connect with the right opportunities by assisting with your job search, developing your resume, and preparing you for interviews.
Step 3: Sign a training agreement – Once you have been hired, you and your employer will sign a Training Agreement, registered with Skilled Trades Ontario. Once approved, you will be able to record your training journey in your Apprenticeship Training Standard Logbook.
Step 4: Start your journey! You will begin learning on the job (approximately 80% of your training) and attend in school training (about 20% of your time) throughout your apprenticeship.
