Apprenticeship


I am looking for some info. on how to start an apprenticeship with a company in Toronto. I have some construction experience but no direct plumbing experience. All companies seem to only hire 2nd, 3rd and 4th year apprentices. How can I get started on my apprenticeship?

Thanks!

Re: Apprenticeship


Have you checked the union? They should be able to set you on the right path. Probably the best way to get the first year under your belt. Might be a good way to do your entire career, if you like it.
