Northern Lakes College is developing strategies and putting plans in place to ensure students will be able to safely complete any practical aspects of their programs.
Show employers you can hit the ground running with the experience you will gain through our Apprenticeship programs.
NEW Blended Delivery

Blended delivery is available for the following apprenticeship programs:
- Carpenter Second Period Apprentices
- Carpenter Fourth Period Apprentices
- Electrician First Period Apprentices
- Electrician Second Period Apprentices
