Ready for the workforce

Lakeland takes pride in providing workforce ready trades training.

Our unique heavy oil operations course combines power engineering with specifics of heavy oil industry. It includes a 3-month work practicum.

Our pre-employment programs allow you to try a trade. It combines all  the first-year apprentice training with a 3-week work experience. Unlike the apprenticeship programs, you don't need a job and hours of work before you start your training. Once you're finished you can challenge the first-year apprenticeship exam and go on to earn your journeyman's ticket.
