What is an apprenticeship?
Apprenticeship combines on-the-job training under the supervision of a qualified tradesperson and classroom training at a training establishment. About 80% of an apprentice's training takes place on-the-job. The other 20% involves technical training usually provided at, or through a post-secondary training establishment or at a Union approved training facility.
