Provincial apprenticeship programs An apprenticeship is a formal written agreement between an employer, an employee and the Industry Training Authority (ITA). Typically, 8085% of an apprenticeship is work-based training; the rest is technical training in the classroom and/or shop. Most apprenticeships take four years. Before apprentices can earn a certicate or ticket, they must complete both workbased training and technical training, including examinations. After working as apprentices for the period specied by the ITA, graduates can write the Interprovincial Standards Examination. Graduates of the Foundation-Level Plumbing program (Entry Level Trades Training) at CNC receive an ITA Certication of Completion and credit for level one technical training of their apprenticeship. Foundation-Level students are not apprentices, but completing a Foundation program makes it easier to nd an apprenticeship. In many trades, completion of the Foundation level is a prerequisite to an apprenticeship. Apprentices and employers must register apprenticeships with the ITA. For application forms or more information, call the ITA at 1-866-660-6011 or visit www.itabc.ca. Important dates Please contact the Quesnel campus. Prince George Classes: February 14 July 8, 2011
