Registered Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are structured, work-based learning programs that combine hands-on training with related classroom instruction. They allow employees to “earn while they learn,” gaining practical skills while advancing toward industry-recognized credentials. Unlike traditional training models, apprenticeships are directly tailored to the needs of employers and industries, ensuring that workers develop the exact skills needed to succeed.

Benefits to Employers

• Customized to Your Workforce Needs – Programs are designed around the company’s skill requirements, ensuring employees are job-ready from day one.
• Stronger Talent Pipeline – Apprenticeships help companies recruit, train and retain workers in industries where skilled talent is in high demand.
• Increased Productivity and Retention – Employees who learn on the job are more engaged, perform at higher levels and stay with their employers longer.
