WHAT IS
APPRENTICESHIP? APPRENTICESHIP IS AN ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PROGRAM FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
PURSUE A CAREER IN THE SKILLED TRADES. ABOUT 90 PERCENT OF APPRENTICESHIP
TRAINING OCCURS IN THE WORKPLACE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF SKILLED
TRADESPEOPLE, THE REST OF THE TIME IS SPENT LEARNING THEORETICAL AND
TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE TRADE, USUALLY AT A POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTION
SUCH AS A COLLEGE.

HOW DOES AN APPRENTICESHIP WORK?

Apprenticeship involves an agreement between a person who wants to learn trade-
related skills and an employer who needs a skilled tradesperson. In the case of
traditional apprenticeship, an individual must be employed to begin an apprenticeship
and the employer must agree to apprentice the person in a trade. Apprentices earn
while they learn. It is a training agreement between the employer, apprentice and the
government. In the absence of an employer relationship, Conestoga can assist in

identifying other pathways to apprenticeship.

FINDING AN EMPLOYER
An individual interested in becoming an apprentice can usually apply directly to an
employer, union or sponsor group. Apprenticeship programs can range from two to
five years in length and during that time the apprentice receives wages based on his/
her skills.
