Ontario Colleges Apprenticeship Programs

Do you like to learn by doing? Are you interested in working in the skilled trades?

If so, Ontario's colleges can help. The 28 publicly-funded colleges of Ontario help educate more than 25,000 apprentices across the province each year.

An apprenticeship is a form of job training that enables you to learn by doing. As an apprentice you work under the supervision of a person skilled in the job you wish to learn. That individual teaches you how to do the work. As part of all apprenticeships, there is an in-school educational component. This educational component is provided at one of the colleges in Ontario.

 

There are many paths to becoming an apprentice. The traditional approach to becoming an apprentice is to find an employer willing to teach you the trade and then contact the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and officially register as an apprentice. The educational component of your apprenticeship may be taken at one of the publicly-funded colleges in Ontario. For details regarding the traditional apprenticeship system, see the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities website.

If you are not currently registered as an apprentice, the colleges of Ontario can help you get started. Check out the pre-apprenticeship programs offered at a number of colleges. These programs give you shop/lab experience, academic upgrading and Level 1 apprenticeship in-school training so that you are more prepared to find an employer to take you on as an apprentice. It is important to research which particular programs are being offered at any individual college before applying as program offerings vary from year to year.

 

If you wish to pursue an apprenticeship and a college diploma at the same time, (and are not currently registered as an apprentice), many colleges offer Co-op Diploma Apprenticeship programs. These are programs that combine a college diploma program and apprenticeship training. Applicants must meet academic eligibility standards for entrance into this program, but having employer sponsorship before registering is not required.

another program that available in this college are:

• Certificate Program
• Diploma Program
• Applied Degree Program
• Collaborative/ Join Degree Program
• Graduate Certificate Program
• Co-op Placement Program

Harvard Researcher Chosen as New Dean of Weill Cornell Medical College

A Harvard University researcher and professor with strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry has been selected as the new dean of Weill Cornell Medical College in Manhattan, as Cornell University seeks to greatly expand its research programs and obtain more federal and private financing, college officials said Wednesday.

The new dean, Dr. Laurie H. Glimcher, 60, who has ties to the pharmaceutical giants Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb as well as to scientific and biotechnology companies, said she wanted to use her experience to forge partnerships with both the public and private sectors.

Dr. Glimcher, an immunologist with a strong interest in osteoporosis, defended her outside interests, saying they presented no conflict as long as they were transparent. She said she wanted to “leverage the strengths of everyone,” whether scientists, pharmaceutical companies or biotechnology companies. “There should be no silos between all of these different strengths,” she said.

Academics Challenge Tuition Increases in Britain

Academics challenge British tuition increases

Hundreds of academics from Oxford and Cambridge have signed a letter to the British government demanding that the planned increase in tuition fees to £9,000 from £3,290 be halted and a public commission of inquiry be established to look into the plan.

“Universities are being forced to take major decisions, with unknown consequences, to a breakneck timetable,” said the letter, which was addressed to Business Secretary Vince Cable and Universities Minister David Willets.

“We are being asked to ‘fly blind’ over matters of the utmost importance in respect to our ability to continue to deliver world-class education and research,” said the letter, which was signed by 681 faculty members from Britain’s two oldest universities. 

A government paper setting out details of the new funding arrangement, which was expected in March, has been delayed, and Professor Peter de Bolla, one of the organizers of the letter, told the BBC that institutions were essentially being asked to set fees “in the dark,” without a clear understanding of the consequences of their decisions.
