Trades - Pre-Employment

Step into a trade

Open the door to become a journeyperson through our pre-employment programs.

Pre-employment is a place to start if you don't have a background in a particular trade.

Train with passionate instructors who’re linked to industry. And, build your skills in our Trades Centre.

You'll spend 12 weeks in our labs and classrooms. Then you’ll take the first period apprenticeship exam.

Once you pass, you'll complete 4 weeks (120 hours) of work experience. We’ll match you with an employer so you can use your new skills and knowledge in the real world.

Our pre-employment programs start in the fall term and finish just before Christmas.
