free construction trades preapprenticeship
January 20, 2020

Georgian College’s Muskoka Campus offering free construction trades preapprenticeship this May

Those looking to gain skills for entry into the construction trades – including plumbing, electrical and carpentry – can start building an in-demand career with the Georgian College’s free 14-week preapprenticeship program starting May 19 at the Muskoka Campus.

Muskoka Campus Associate Dean Mac Greaves said the program is ideal for those seeking to enter the skilled trades and those who need additional training and support.

“The construction trades preapprenticeship program will help those interested in pursuing a career in the skilled trades, but don’t know where to start,” noted Greaves. “It will also help provide a pathway to apprenticeship programs.”

In addition to hands-on learning, students will receive first aid, WHMIS and working at heights training, and soft skills such as communication, teamwork and personal management. This will help them connect to a robust job market and meet entrance requirements for the construction trades. Job search skills and job and trade readiness planning, and a paid 12-week work placement, are also included.

Last year’s cohort worked on projects for local employers and either secured work placements or pursued skilled trades programs at other campuses.
