60% of the job openings up in the next ten years will be in the trades and technology field!

Apprenticeship is work-based training combined with post-secondary education.  An apprentice spends about 80% of their time learning their craft on the job and 20% of their time learning in the classroom.  Exciting careers available in everything from electronics to film industry positions.

Three routes to Apprenticeship

 1.  Secondary School Apprenticeship (SSA)
SSA is a career program that provides students over the age of 15 with the opportunity to begin an apprenticeship while in high school.  More information and applications are available in the Career Centre

2.  Entry Level Trades Training (ELTT)
ELTT courses are an option for students who have finished high school and are available at post-secondary institutions across B.C.  They usually last 6-8 months

3. Direct Entry to Apprenticeship
This is where an apprentice finds a job in an apprenticeable trade
