Do electrical contractors in Ontario have apprenticeship opportunities for Ontario’s young people?
Yes! Ontario’s electrical contractors have numerous apprenticeship job openings right now, likely numbering in the thousands. They’re ready to hire. Unfortunately contractors are forced to turn job-seekers away because of a requirement, practically unique to Ontario, that all but the smallest contractors must have three certified electricians for every one apprentice. By comparison, in almost all other provinces, only one certified journey person is needed for each apprentice.
