future
you can DEPEND on!
Apprenticeship training is a great way to learn job skills
while earning money. It combines hands-on learning where
experts in a trade (called journeypersons) pass on their
knowledge and expertise to employees (called apprentices)
right on the job. This practical training is combined with
periods of technical training.
How
Apprenticeship Works
Apprenticeship is available to persons already working in a
trade. Specific details of apprenticeships vary from one
trade to another. If you're just out of high school and not
employed by a company in the trades, contact us to learn
how we can help you!

and supervision to you as an apprentice. If you're a
successful candidate, The Apprenticeship and Trade
Certification office will help you and your employer sign a
formal apprenticeship contract. This contract is registered
with the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification
Commission.
4. Complete the required term of apprenticeship.
5. Attend technical training for the required number of
weeks each year in order to receive theory, testing, and
hands-on experience, some of which may not be available on
the job.
What does it cost to become an apprentice?
Tuition - $30.00 per week (partial or full week equivalent;
minimum $120.00). Technical training is an average of 8
weeks per year.
How long is the training program?
Most apprenticeship training takes two to five years to
complete, depending on the trade. And remember, you earn
a good income while you learn!
