Apprenticeship – Training for
the Future
IBEW Local 303 members are committed to training the next generation of journeymen. In partnership with NPECA and the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities a Local Joint Apprenticeship Council has been established to oversee the apprenticeship program. Volunteer representatives from both organizations:
- Develop the program standards for new candidates
- Conduct an annual review on each apprentice in the system which includes on the job performance, attitude, ability and placement at trade school
- Act as mentor for problems or issues on the job
- Monitor all mandatory safety and skills training
- Oversees apprentices’ progress to ensure that our training produces the journeymen
needed for our industry’s future
Our apprentices have excelled in provincial and national skills competitions.
