Apprenticeship Pathways
Entry into an apprenticeship requires the completion of Grade 8, Grade 10, or Grade 12, depending on the trade. The grade requirement for each trade is identified in the pathway chart for that trade. Pathway booklets are available in Guidance. Or go on-line to www.edu.gov.on.ca
Note that employers in any trade may require that individuals be secondary school graduates as a condition of employment.
What is an Apprentice?
An Apprentice is someone who learns a skilled trade on the job, under the direction of more experienced workers. Apprentices also complete classroom instruction as a part of their training. Apprentices are employees, and earn a salary while they learn a skilled trade
