Apprenticeship Programs

Take your Apprenticeship training at Okanagan College

Canada is experiencing a shortage of skilled trades people. With the impending retirement of thousands of Baby Boomers, this situation will only become more critical. Employers in British Columbia need highly skilled workers now and seek out graduates from trades apprenticeship programs. A career in trades offers a promising future in a secure, well-paid, and challenging occupation. Workers who finish apprenticeship and receive a journeyperson designation generally earn more than those who do not, and have greater opportunities for advancement.

OC has an Apprenticeship Office to answer all your questions and assist you in scheduling your technical training. If you have questions visit the Trades and Apprenticeship Office at the KLO Campus in T115 or call toll free 1-800-621-3038. To further assist you, OC has compiled an accommodation list for those who need short-term housing while they complete their training.
