The calendar may say it's midsummer, but the fall cohort is practically here! Most of our
Network Companies
have selected their apprentices already. We recommend starting employment a few weeks before the college semester begins to make sure the apprentice is a good fit for the position.
We're also in the midst of exam season for our second- and third-year apprentices. We wish everyone the best of luck!
Make sure to visit our
ICATT website
regularly to stay up-to-date with apprenticeship news.
Kind regards,
Director, Skills Initiative & Apprenticeship Programs
