LETTER FROM THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Dear Future Tradespersons and Professionals,

The construction industry is the second largest industry in North America. 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

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 employers
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.

General Apprenticeship
Information

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.

Specialist High Skills Major Program (SHSM):

As in all aspects of your career, balance is key. 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.

CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE
TRAINING

You have a duty to train new


workers before they start work!

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 whats 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 workers 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 companys 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 workers training and raise the veterans safety
awareness at the same time.

The Infrastructure Health and Safety Association can help. Visit www.ihsa.ca for information and resources for
new and young workers, including training courses, online learning programs, and orientation templates.
