Electrician Pre-Apprenticeship Program

The Electrician Pre-Apprenticeship Program at Humber College is a tuition-free program funded by the Government of Canada that is designed as a transition step to finding an apprenticeship.

Participants will receive Level 1 Electrician – Construction and Maintenance as well as exposure to Domestic and Rural applications. Remedial math support is built into the program and will take place in conjunction with the training delivery to reinforce concepts.

The program is delivered over 10 weeks, followed by a work placement of 8 to 12 weeks.

What You’ll Learn

• Orientation & Safety Training (1 week)
• Basic Level Electrician Training – Construction & Maintenance, Workplace Communications & Remedial Math support (10 weeks full-time)
• Work Placements (8-12 weeks: dependent on employer, as well as student participation and input throughout program)

Over the next few years, economic growth is expected to boost employment in most construction sectors, and as the construction industry – both residential and commercial – continues to grow, qualified electricians will increasingly be in demand, giving you a wide range of opportunities to choose from. Additional factors enhancing the job prospects and the need for more electricians is the increasing concern for energy conservation that has led to the installation of more energy saving options, as wells as the upgrading and retrofitting of aging buildings.

This Pre-Apprenticeship Electrician program will help to address the skill shortages in the industry in the GTA and particularly help youth prepare for the opportunities in the sector with the upcoming projects.
