Legislation for these trades do not make apprenticeship / licensing mandatory to be working in these areas. • Restricted trades such as Hairstylist and Automotive Service Technician do require a student to be registered as an apprentice or to be a licensed journeyperson to perform the majority of tasks inherent in these trades

  13. What is Apprenticeship? • A way of learning a skilled trade from a professional tradesperson, also called a journeyperson • 80 – 90% of training occurs on the job where the apprentice learns by watching, practicing and performing tasks under the supervision of a certified journeyperson • 10 – 20% is theoretical, in-school or classroom training usually taught by a college or other approved training institute

  14. What is On-the-Job Training? • Learning by doing • Hands on • Trained by an experienced journeyperson • Training in up-to-date new technologies • Mastering skills to industry performance standards

  15. What is In-School Training? • Registered apprentices take time away from their work to attend school, usually a community college; • This training is usually done in 3 eight week blocks of time • Here the apprentice learns the theory (math, science and communication skills) to support their work • In-school delivery can also happen through night school, day release or through the internet • NEW! Apprentices pay $400 classroom fees per level starting August 2002 …
