The Apprenticeship Service supports employers to hire new first-year apprentices in 39 Red Seal trades.
It also helps first-year apprentices get the hands-on work experience they need for a career in the skilled trades.
How the program works
ESDC funds organizations that work with employers in the skilled trades.
The organizations give financial support to small and medium-sized employers to hire first-year apprentices:
- $5,000 for each eligible new first-year apprentice hired
- $10,000 if the apprentice hired is from an equity-deserving group
They also provide other supports to employers to help them take part in apprenticeship. ---More...
