Pre-Employment Trades

Pre-employment programs are for those individuals interested in a trade, but do not have an employer or are not registered as an apprentice. Pre-employment programs provide the skill set needed to enter the workforce and become an apprentice. Learn first year apprenticeship theory, receive your safety tickets, and get hands-on training. Upon successful completion, students are eligible to challenge the Apprenticeship and Industry Training (AIT) First Period Exam.

We offer: 
Pre-Employment Carpenter
Pre-Employment Electrician
Pre-Employment Heavy Equipment Technician (Mechanic)
Pre-Employment Industrial Mechanic (Millwright) 
Pre-Employment Welder
