High School Apprenticeship Program

Hiring an apprentice is a smart business move in more ways than one. Many businesses are facing labour shortages, and one-third of Canada's workforce will retire by 2030. This means competition will get tough for employers looking to attract and retain good workers. Further, some businesses will struggle to keep up with demand, let alone plan for expansion.

The High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) provides an opportunity for you to develop employees aligned with your organization's processes, culture and values from the very beginning. They learn your business first. That means they learn the way you do things and the unique, specialized skills that best serve your business.

This approach has far-reaching benefits for your business. Students may choose to stay with your organization and build stronger relationships with your customers. When you support a student-apprentice, you strengthen your business.

Contact your local high school to participate in this program as an employer.
