Registered Apprenticeship Program: Information Manual, February 2003 (550 kb)
An apprentice is someone who learns a trade, both on the job and at school, with a goal of becoming a skilled tradesperson.
Apprenticeship starts with choosing a trade and finding an employer willing to hire an apprentice. Over the duration of the program (usually three to four years), apprentices spend approximately 80 per cent of their time with the employer gaining on-the-job training and work experience and the other 20 per cent attending technical training at a college or technical institute.
