In Saskatchewan and beyond, there is high demand for skilled workers. From industrial to commercial/institutional and residential construction, employers are seeking workers with up-to-date technical skills to deliver good value. Apprenticeship training is the best way for workers to learn the skills employers need.
Apprenticeship is a recognized system of training which combines on the job training with technical training. Apprentices (who are employees) learn the knowledge and skills of the trade from a certified journeyperson (an expert in the trade) while working on the job. This workplace training is reinforced with periods of theoretical training at a technical institute. CODC members have provided financial assistance to many apprentices for their training. Just one benefit of working with the PROS.
