May 29, 2023 -- NAP (National Apprenticeship Program) Skilled Trades Information Session

Join us on May 29th – 4pm Eastern Standard Time (1pm BC Time) via zoom (Register Here) to learn more about starting a new career in the Skilled Trades – This information session is open to all possible apprentices and/or individuals who work with students, members and clients that may be interested in this wonderful program! With Students graduating this is the perfect time to start a skilled trades career. This is also a wonderful opportunity for those looking to make a career change and a wonderful program to assist those advocating for employment clients.

The National Apprenticeships Program connects Indigenous women, Two-Spirit, transgender, and gender-diverse people with paid apprenticeship opportunities in the trades. Our program was developed to facilitate Red Seal apprenticeship opportunities with companies who share our view that women’s economic empowerment is vital in reconciliation.

WHAT IS AN APPRENTICESHIP?

An apprenticeship is industry-based training that allows students to learn a trade through a combination of on-the-job and in-classroom training. In NWAC’s NAP, apprenticeships will only be offered in Red Seal classified trades.

NWAC’s NAP gives you access to:

Personalized support in entering the skilled trades and a job board with a variety of apprenticeship opportunities.
Employers who prioritize diversity and inclusion.
Opportunities to work in high paying, in-demand, and secure job fields, with the opportunity for self-employment.
Transferable skills that allow you to work anywhere
