Meet Apprentices

As an apprentice, you’re always learning something you didn’t know yesterday and laying the foundation for a lifetime of growth. You’re working toward your Certificate of Qualification so that you can join one of Manitoba’s many growing industries. Meet some of Manitoba’s current apprentices training their hands to mould their futures…

		Adrian Carpenter To Adrian, nothing beats passing by a house and being able to claim, “I built that.” Apprenticeship has helped him hone his carpentry skills and has given him experience as a supervisor, which will come in handy when he starts his own business one day.
		Andrea Power Supply Worker Whether it involves squeezing into small spaces or going high up on a lift, Andrea gets a charge out of performing inspections and maintenance at an energy converter station. She says the best thing about her apprenticeship is never being stuck in an office.
		Carmen Cook Carmen has travelled the world in search of new experience and new challenges. When invited to apprentice under a local chef, she knew she found the right outlet for her creativity.
		Chris Auto Mechanic Chris is always busy learning new tricks of the trade in the shop, working on everything from forklifts to hatchbacks. He loves how apprenticeship gives him the opportunity to get right into the trade and learn skills on the job.
		Tracy Power Electrician Tracy embraces the idea of always being able to learn new skills, both in the classroom and on the job. Paving the way as the only woman in her program, she looks to encourage others to join her in a lifelong journey of growth and opportunity.
