An apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training and classroom learning that leads to certification — meaning you can earn while you learn!
You can be an apprentice during or after highschool, and most apprenticehips take about four years to complete. Upon certification, you become a journey person with a strong foundation for a lifelong career and endless opportunities.

This year's theme for National Mental Health Week is “Come Together, Canada: Stronger connections, better mental health." At a time when a lot can seem uncertain in the world, staying connected with one another matters more than ever.
Coming together to support those who may be struggling is a shared responsibility. It can be as easy as sending a quick text to check-in, or asking a co-worker to take a coffee break together. Listening can help, too.
👉 Visit the link in our bio for a list of helpful resources for apprentices, tradespeople and anyone in B.C. who needs support.
Let’s come together because mental health matters. 🤝

April 28th is the National Day of Mourning, a time to honour and remember all the workers who have lost their lives, been injured, or suffered illness due to work-related incidents.
Across the skilled trades and beyond, we all share responsibility for creating workplaces that are safe, respectful, and healthy. Today, we pause to reflect—and to renew our commitment to protecting the wellbeing of every worker.
