We understand that making a career change or jumping into a trade can be intimidating. You might not be sure if the Electrical Trade is the career path for you. That is why we developed the Electrician Pre-Apprenticeship Program.

Trillium College’s Electrician Pre-Apprenticeship program is a trade program that gives you the theoretical knowledge, practical skills and experience needed to work competently, effectively and safely in the trade as an Electrical Apprentice.

Program Details
What is a Pre-Apprenticeship Program?
There are few means of gaining experience in the Electrical Trade due to the Provincial Regulations of the Compulsory Trades.

Consequently, Contractors have limited opportunities to determine a candidate’s aptitude and abilities. However, Contractors recognize the economic benefit of our program as traditional apprenticeships require that you have a Journeyperson overseeing you while you learn the basics of the trade; this along with cost and safety concerns are the primary reasons for their reluctance to take on new Apprentices and the purpose of a pre-apprenticeship.

In addition, by working with basic skills and safety certifications from day 1, you minimize the economic penalty and concerns that most Apprentice applicants bring to their door.
