Apprenticeship Programs
Graduates in Demand
- Mohawk annually serves 3,000 apprenticeship students, and is one of the largest trainers of apprentices in Ontario
- Apprenticeship provides hands-on experience; however, apprenticeship programs require “in school” training as well
- Mohawk provides in-class training for many of the trades for those who are already registered and working in an apprenticeship position
Apprenticeship training is an agreement between a person wishing to learn a skill and an employer who can provide the environment for skills training. It is administered in Ontario by the Apprenticeship Client Services Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
Apprenticeships at Mohawk College will include the following:
- On-The-Job: The apprentice learns the appropriate skills of the trade while working with and under the supervision of a qualified journeyperson
- In-School: The apprentice learns the theory which supports all phases of the trade and relates this theory to practical projects that simulate typical work assignments
- Fees: A classroom fee of $400 is charged for each in-school level of apprenticeship programs.
