Apprenticeship Toolkit

This year WPH created a streamlined toolkit to support students looking into apprenticeships. We provide a valuable resource to new young apprentices by gathering all the information needed to get started with an apprenticeship in a streamlined guide. We worked closely with the Mohawk Community Apprenticeship Hub, other Apprenticeship Groups, and agencies to gather information helpful to individuals interested in beginning the employment pathway of skilled trade apprenticeships. The apprenticeship toolkit provides local LMI to future apprentices in order to provide a general context of what employers are requesting and looking for in an apprentice. The toolkit will increase the understanding on the process of becoming an apprentice, as well as the benefits of starting the journey in skilled trades. We have created a series of information amended to focus on the skilled trades, and other materials from our partners that will are available both digitally and in hard copy through mail. WPH connects with potential students and community members who otherwise may not be aware of local supports, and bridge that gap to connect them with more information about the process of beginning apprenticeship programs, government supports, and hiring supports to flourish in these challenging times.
