What financial assistance is available to apprentices?
Apprentices are in a unique situation because most of their learning is acquired on the job as paid employment. Apprentices have access to a limited amount of government financial assistance because the time they spend learning in-class is less than the time required for any funding assistance and because the Province of Manitoba is responsible for most of the costs associated with technical training. However, the apprentice is able to receive special grants and tax deductions, Employment Insurance (EI) during the time of technical training and may apply for various Scholarships & Awards. Review the sections on Finances & Awards for more information.
