The Avon Maitland District School Board is partnering up with Technical Training Group to deliver three Manufacturing Pre-Apprenticeship Multiple Trades Exposure programs.
The programs are 25-weeks long and will be available at three A-M-D-S-B schools across Huron and Perth counties; Central Huron Secondary School, Stratford District Secondary School and Listowel District Secondary School.
The programs are funded by the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development.
These highly successful tuition-free programs are a unique opportunity for people who are at least 18 years old and are either underemployed, unemployed or working part-time to gain skills and industry connections in the manufacturing sector.
The deadline to apply for the schools are as follows;
These programs will deliver hands-on training and theory for people interested in pursuing a career as a Welder, Metal Fabricator or General Machinist and includes employment preparation classes which will be delivered in partnership with the Centres for Employment and Learning and the Conestoga Career Centre.
These programs will culminate in an 8-week, full-time, paid work placement with a local employer. The goal is that these work placements will connect people with full-time employment opportunities, allowing them to build on the skills they have acquired in the program and pursue careers in the skilled trades.
