Training Structure

The workshop has been divided into 3 sections in a sequence that allows for content to build on previous learning objectives:

• Trades Apprenticeship in Ontario
• Becoming a Certified Tradesperson in Ontario
  • The Certification Pathway
  • The Apprenticeship Pathway

In order to deliver the workshop effectively, it is recommended that the facilitator refer to the NeCTAR reference guide. Prior to delivering the workshop, the facilitator should determine the trades that the workshop participants are seeking to enter and obtain the training standards manuals for those trades if delivering a general trades workshop. If the workshop is trade-specific, trade-specific NeCTAR resources can be utilized.
