Electrician Pre Apprenticeship Graduate Program

There are few means of gaining experience in the Electrical Trade due to the Provincial Regulations of the Compulsory Trades.

Consequently, Contractors have limited opportunities to determine a candidate’s aptitude and abilities. However, Contractors recognize the economic benefit of our program as traditional apprenticeships require that you have a Journeyperson overseeing you while you learn the basics of the trade; this along with cost and safety concerns are the primary reasons for their reluctance to take on new Apprentices and the purpose of a pre-apprenticeship.

In addition, by working with basic skills and safety certifications from day 1, you minimize the economic penalty and concerns that most Apprentice applicants bring to their door.
