Manitoba Apprenticeship Information
High School Apprenticeship ProgramThe HSAP encourages high school students (age 16+ and enrolled in school) to begin their apprenticeship training. It combines regular high school instruction with paid, part-time, on-the-job training. Students can earn up to 8 grade 12 (elective) credits for graduation based on 110 working hours per credit. There are numerous incentives and benefits to enrolling in the HSAP.
Grants & Tax Deductions for ApprenticesThe Manitoba Government covers the major portion of tuition fees for apprentices when they attend technical/in-school training. As a result, apprentices pay much lower tuition fees in comparison to most other post-secondary options. In some cases, employers may also choose to assist their apprentice with tuition fees and books, which makes an apprenticeship a cost-effective alternative education alternative.

Apprenticeship in ManitobaApprenticeship is quality, low-cost, post-secondary training that leads to certification as a journeyperson in a skilled trade. However, unlike university or college, where YOU PAY for your entire education, as an apprentice YOU GET PAID to learn. Most trade programs take approximately 2-4 years to complete and they combine approximately 80% paid-on-the job training with 20% technical/in-school learning.
