Because of its magnitude, it offers a great deal of career opportunities and with an aging workforce we realize many new hires will occur in the near future. For this reason, we have undertaken a project to develop materials that will better inform secondary students, post-secondary students and parents about the opportunities and the potential that the construction industry has to offer. WCA has been updating our information on careers in construction and have compiled our findings into this manual. This Construction Career Guide contains useful information that will help you along your path to success in the construction industry. Its contents include apprenticeship information, career profiles, training centres and colleges and various career pathways. We hope you find this information both helpful, and informative, and will lead you to enter the construction sector where your career success potential is truly unlimited. Sincerely Jim Lyons WCA Executive Director 5 General Apprenticeship Information What is Apprenticeship? Apprenticeship is one of four post-secondary educational career pathways. An Apprentice partakes in a combination of on-the-job training and in-class training. Approximately 90% of training takes place on the job. The employer’s job is to ensure that the Apprentice becomes competent in a particular trade based on standards set out by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. In-class training will take place at either a College of Applied Arts and Technology, Training Delivery Agent (TDA) or another approved delivery agent such as a union. After completion of both in-class and on-the-job training, the Apprentice must pass an examination before they can receive a Certificate of Qualification. Why Apprenticeship? Essentially, apprentices are being paid to learn. Hands on work experience earns you a pay check while earning credits towards your OSSD. For the many students who are hands on learners, apprenticeship offers you a great deal of quality hands on learning experiences. A combination of hands on experience and in class training has proven to make a versatile individual as well as a more employable individual. Being an Apprentice also comes with cash incentives: Apprenticeship Incentive Grant (AIG) is available to apprentices in Red Seal trades. Qualifying apprentices receive $1000 after completing Level 1 schooling and an additional $1000 after completing Level 2 schooling. Apprenticeship Completion Grant (ACG) is a $2000 grant available to qualifying apprentices who successfully complete apprenticeship training and obtain their journeyperson certificate in a Red Seal trade. Completing an apprenticeship in an Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) trade can earn you a total of $4000 in grants! Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program OYAP is a program in which apprenticeship students can earn credits towards their education while receiving on-the-job training in an apprenticeship program. OYAP students have the ability to explore career options in the skilled trades. To enroll in OYAP students should meet with their Co-op teacher or Career Counsellorts to discuss the requirements and which program they are best suited for. OYAP Apprentice Responsibilities Apprenticeship students and employers must sign a Registered Training Agreement (RTA) which outlines the responsibilities of the Apprentice and of the employer. The RTA is not an employment contract. Once the contract has been signed the Apprentice must become a member of the Ontario College of Trades (OCOT) within 90 days. As long as you are a secondary school student with an RTA, your membership fees are waived. You must carry your membership card with you on the job at all times and present it when asked by an inspector. 6 OYAP Requirements: Must be 16 years of age. Must have completed 16 credits towards an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) before starting the apprenticeship program. Must be enrolled as a full time student during the program. Must be working towards the completion of OSSD requirements.

A student with a balance of hands on education as well as academic education can be very successful. The Specialist High Skills Major Program is an excellent way of obtaining that balance. SHSM students get a combination of hands-on classroom experience through tech classes, as well as some academic classes such as math or science. The completion of a SHSM Program also earns the student a red seal on their Ontario Secondary School Diploma, making the student more credible to potential employers. Students also receive recognition on their transcripts for completing a Specialist High Skills Major Program.

New workers need training and orientation. The law requires training in: • WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) • fall protection • specific tasks such as traffic control, confined space entry, and window cleaning • emergency procedures, including fall rescue • specific equipment such as powder-actuated tools, chainsaws, lift trucks, hoisting equipment, fire extinguishers, scissor lifts, and other powered elevating work platforms. New workers must be told and, if necessary, trained and shown what’ s expected of them in terms of: • work performance • safe operation of tools and equipment • procedures around hazardous materials • proper use of any required personal protective equipment and clothing. Training is also necessary: • when a worker is assigned to a new job • whenever equipment, materials, or procedures are new to the worker • when inadequate performance is observed. When a new worker starts a job, you should: • Give the new worker a copy of the company health and safety policy. • Explain the project and review the worker’s duties. • Alert the worker to any hazards on site and the protective measures required. • Explain requirements for personal protective equipment. • Outline procedures for emergencies and accident reporting. • Show the worker where to find the first aid kit, fire extinguishers, and other emergency equipment. • Introduce the new worker to the supervisor. • Show the new worker around the site. A new worker can absorb only so much information in the first few days. A copy of the company’s health and safety policy and program can help by reinforcing the points covered during orientation. Wherever possible, use the buddy system to follow up on orientation. Pairing a new worker with a veteran can help each to work more safely. You will reinforce the new worker’s training and raise the veteran’s safety awareness at the same time. The Infrastructure Health and Safety Association can help.
