As our population grows, the demand for electricity is increasingly important. Without electricity, nothing works. Power and lighting distributions require high-level skills, the skills you will master in this program.
In Humber's program, apprentices learn valuable skills including laying out, assembling, installing, repairing, maintaining, connecting, testing electrical systems; planning installations from blueprints, sketches, specifications and installs all electrical and electronic devices; systematically diagnosing faults in electrical and electronic components; measuring, cutting, threading, bending, assembling, installing conduits and other electrical conductor enclosures; splicing and terminating electrical conductors; testing electrical and electronic equipment for proper function.
Apprentices attend either day-release schooling (one day per week from August to May for all three levels) or block-release (eight-week Basic level, 10-week Intermediate level, and ten-week Advanced level).
Apprentices serve a 9,000-hour apprenticeship with 840 hours allocated to in-school training.
Upon successfully completing the in-school Certificate of Apprenticeship from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, and on-the-job training, students write the Ontario Certificate of Qualification trade exam. Those attaining a minimum of 70 per cent are eligible to work in other provinces participating in the Red Seal Program.
Non-academic admission criteria may also be required.
Note: This apprenticeship is regulated by the Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship Act.
Applicants are required to register through their local Apprenticeship Branch Office of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU).
The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program is now offered by some Ontario school boards. It allows participants to complete high school while working part-time as a registered apprentice. If you are 16 years or older and have completed Grade 10, contact your guidance counsellor or technical director for more information.
