Another goal of the promotion is
to show students and others that
apprenticeship can be a worthy
alternative to education acquired
solely through colleges and
universities.

the practice of apprenticeship in
Ontario and gives capsule

regulated construction, service,
and motive power trades as well
as listing many additional trades
for which voluntary certification is
available.
The Ministry's promotion of
apprenticeship includes direct
mail advertising to potential
employers of apprentices, an
audio-visual presentation for use
in high schools, a quarterly
newsletter for guidance
counsellors, apprentices and
employetls, and an exhibit for use
at faits and shows throughout the
