Apprenticeships and Workforce Development Programs for Employers

About the Programs

Registered apprenticeships are customized to each employer’s needs and specifications. It is not a one size fits all training program but rather the employer’s training program. Apprenticeships can be developed for all industries.

• The length of a Registered Apprenticeship program can vary depending on the employer, complexity of the occupation, industry and the type of program.
• Programs are generally structured with a combination of On the Job Training Hours and supplemental related classroom instruction.
