What
is an Apprentice?
An apprentice is someone who is taking a trade and working under the guidance
of skilled workers called journeypersons. Apprentices are required to attend
three terms of school consisting of eight week blocks over a four or five year
period and have completed 8000 hours of on the job training. The training is
free and attending school is mandatory when asked to attend by the Millwright
Regional Council of Ontario. If you fail to attend scheduled classes you will
terminate your apprenticeship contract. Apprentices start at 60% of the journeypersons
pay rate and wages are increased at periodic intervals until receiving his/her
Certificate of Qualification. |
