What is the Registered Apprenticeship Program?

"The Trades offer good training, lots of opportunities and job security. The RAP program is a good way for high school students to see what's out there and get some work experience in a trade of their choice.
If you would like to start work at a real job earning real money, the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) is a great first step toward a career. While going to high school, a RAP student earns hours of on-the-job training as credit toward both an apprenticeship program and a high school diploma/credential."

Are you interested in RAP? The Centre for Learning@HOME can assist you.

First Step: Stay in School. Our high school counselor will assist you in devising your high school program to ensure you meet the requirements of achieving your apprenticeship and acquire a high school diploma.

Second Step: Decide which trade matches your interests and skills. Before making commitment to a specific trade, it is important to discover if it is right for you. We suggest doing some work experience to get exposure to a variety of trades. Students can earn up to 15 credits toward their high school diploma. We suggest students start this in grade 10.

Third Step: You need to find an employer who will take you on as an apprentice. It is the student's responsibility to make these arrangements. If you are interested in working in a specific trade and have an employer in mind, it is advisable to meet with the owner of the company and explain your goals and seek their support

Fourth Step: After you acquire a placement, work with your school to apply to the Apprenticeship and Industry Training Office nearest you.

Fifth Step: By signing the apprenticeship application/contract you and your employer make an agreement. You agree to finish your classroom and on-the-job training. Your employer agrees to pay you a certain percentage of the journeyman wage rate, train you on the job and allow you to attend classroom training.
