If you're ready to work and want to combine training with earning power, consider an apprenticeship where you mix workplace-based training under the direction of experienced workers with shorter lengths of classroom or online training.

It's Not All Bricks and Mortar
In addition to traditional apprenticeships, there are non-traditional apprenticeships offered in Tourism and Hospitality for cooks and culinary managers and in Human and Community Services for early childhood educators.

You Won't Be Idle
Close to one-third of new jobs in Ontario over the next 10 years will be in professional/technical occupations and skilled trades. Your apprenticeship skills and certification will allow you to earn an excellent wage, start your own business or continue your post-secondary education. In many trades, your Ontario certification is recognized across Canada and in a number of other countries.

Put Your Mind to Work
Your hands are important but you'll also have to put your mind to work to solve problems, troubleshoot, calculate measurements, loads and angles and to master theories. A typical apprenticeship might require 600 to 700 hours of classroom time (an eight- or ten-week block of time each year for three years). This format is called 'block release.

We're Flexible
Because Fanshawe is one of Ontario's largest colleges, we are able to offer many of our apprenticeship programs in other configurations including 'day release' where you may attend class one full day a week, or 'part time' allowing you to study at night.
