AQAPPRENTICESHIP – WHAT IS IT AND HOW DOES IT WORK? Apprenticeship is a work-based training program for people who want to work in a skilled trade or occupation. It is also a post-secondary education pathway that provides access to well-paying jobs that require a high level of skill, judgment and creativity. Apprentices are paid while gaining work experience and their wages increase with their skill level. About 90% of apprenticeship training takes place in the workplace, while the remainder consists of theoretical instruction, usually obtained at a college of applied arts and technology or other approved training delivery agency. Apprenticeship training is delivered in partnership by the MoLTSD, the sponsor (for on-the-job training) and training delivery agents (for in-school training). Training agreements between apprentices and sponsors are registered by the MoLTSD in accordance with legislation. Each individualized training agreements represents workplace training that the sponsor agrees to provide to someone who wants to learn a skilled trade.

HOW DOES SOMEONE BECOME AN APPRENTICE? The person finds a sponsor willing to ensure that he or she is provided with training according to the Apprenticeship Training Standard established by the College. A sponsor may be an individual, employer, third-party sponsor group, or any entity able to provide an apprentice with opportunities to learn the skills necessary to practice the trade. The person and the sponsor submit a completed Application for Apprenticeship to the local MoLTSD Employment Ontario office. MoLTSD staff will arrange a discussion to assess the person’s eligibility for the program and the sponsor’s ability to provide the required training. Staff will explain the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in apprenticeship training, including the College, and register the training agreement, MoLTSD staff will also explain the classroom training options and, together with the sponsor, monitor the apprentice’s progress during the program. For more information on becoming an apprentice, visit: www.earnwhileyoulearn.ca.

HOW LONG DOES AN APPRENTICESHIP TAKE TO COMPLETE? Apprenticeships take two to five years to complete, depending on the trade. Prior education and related work experience are considered when determining the length of the program at registration. Flexible classroom training options are generally available to meet the specific needs of apprentices and their sponsors.

ARE THERE OTHER PATHWAYS TO APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING? The Co-Op Diploma Apprenticeship program allows students attending college to receive apprenticeship training while earning a diploma. The Pre-Apprenticeship Training program helps unemployed individuals strengthen their skills and increase their eligibility for apprenticeship training in a specific skilled trade.

CAN A STUDENT START AN APPRENTICESHIP WHILE ATTENDING HIGH SCHOOL? The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) allows high school students to participate in apprenticeship training while earning their high school diploma. Interested students should contact their guidance counsellor or technical teacher for more information.

DOES THE GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGE SPONSORS TO HIRE APPRENTICES? The Ontario government provides the Apprenticeship Training Tax Credit to corporations and unincorporated businesses that hire apprentices in certain skilled trades, an Employer Signing Bonus to sponsors who register new apprentices in sectors in which skilled workers are in high demand, and an Employer Completion Bonus to sponsors whose apprentices complete their programs.

DOES THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO APPRENTICES? Apprentices can benefit from the Ontario government’s Apprenticeship Scholarship and Loans for Tools programs. Both the Ontario and the federal government offer grants during and at the completion of the apprenticeship program.
