Skilled tradespeople are in demand. It is projected that over the next ten years there will be a shortage of tradespeople in Canada.
Nova Scotia's apprenticeship system can help you get the training and experience you need to become a professional, skilled journeyperson in an exciting career. If you're in high school getting ready to make that big decision about what to do with your life, or already out working and want to make a change, this is your opportunity to turn your talents and passion into success.
Apprenticeship can lead you to skilled employment that pays well. Through a combination of hands-on training and in class/online learning, you can become a journeyperson by earning a Certificate of Qualification in a trade. This means your expertise and industry-proven skills may be formally and financially recognized. With most trades also available for an interprovincial Red Seal endorsement, you have the chance for your credentials to be recognized across Canada.
