How Apprentices Register

Apprenticeship application & registration

You must be a registered apprentice before you can register in any of Lakeland College's apprenticeship programs.

The instructions and application form to register as an apprentice are located on the Apprenticeship and Industry Training's  trade secrets website. If you aren't a registered apprentice, complete your application and contract form from the AIT site.

Registration opening dates for 2022-23 are:

• May 10 for automotive service technician and carpenter
• May 12 for electrician
• May 17 for heavy equipment technician
• May 18 for parts technician
• May 19 for welder

Use My TradeSecrets

We strongly encourage you to have an up-to-date email in My TradeSecrets. If your current email address isn't in the system, you won't receive critical information.
