Apprenticeship in the construction sector

Building your future in Ontario!

"Each project brings new challenges, with the opportunity to apply what you've learned and to acquire hands-on experience from skilled workers." - Paul, apprentice plumber

builder

Jobs in the construction industry provide you with the satisfaction of seeing your work make an important contribution to the growth and well-being of the community. You contribute directly to the building of homes, offices, factories and other industrial projects, sports arenas, hospitals, and other facilities that shelter people and house the engines of the economy. Most of the owners of construction companies got their start by mastering a skilled trade.

The Ontario construction industry is a world leader, as is clear from the high quality of projects such as the CN Tower, Air Canada Centre, and Imax cinemas. The industry makes its mark in other ways as well: home builders alone employed 200,000 people in Ontario in 1998 and contributed $18.2 billion to the province's economy.

Construction companies are always looking for skilled workers to build increasingly sophisticated homes with designs geared towards energy conservation as well as state-of-the art information and entertainment systems. When companies build office towers and residential complexes overseas, they often look to Ontario to find skilled and experienced workers to lead their projects.
