We are currently not accepting applications, please check back in January 2021 for more information.

All interviews have been postponed, please check the link below for updates. If there are no updates do not call or email. It means there are no updates! 

We have not rescheduled interviews due to the current economic situation. As per our Standards, the number of apprentices will be set prior to interviews. Currently we have no employers looking to employ 1st year apprentices. In additioon we have had multiple employers laying off apprentices due to lack of work. We have detirmined that in order to provide oppurtunity to our applicants, we will delay interviews until the situation changes or we develope an alternative plan.
