If you are in Grade 10, 11 or 12, the High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) is your opportunity to learn valuable trade skills before you graduate from high school. Entry-level positions with the potential to develop into a career are increasingly hard to find, and new graduates are facing an increasingly competitive applicant pool for those jobs. HSAP gives you real-world experience before you graduate, giving you an advantage when starting your career. It's a reliable entry point that gives you plenty of room to grow.
Working as a student-apprentice lets you:
High-school graduates who have participated in the HSAP and go onto post-secondary apprenticeship programs may be exempt from paying their technical training personal contribution fees. Every 220 hours of practical training obtained as an HSAP student-apprentice (to a maximum of 880 hours) covers the personal contribution fee for one level of training (to a maximum of four levels). This means most of your technical training fees could be paid for as an apprentice.
From cooks and estheticians to machinists, welders and electricians, Manitoba has more than 55 trades. This includes service, industrial, transportation and construction trades.
For more information about each trade, please visit:

The best way to get started is by talking to your school for more information. They'll help you find a trade you're interested in and provide the tools you need to connect with an employer who will take you on as an apprentice. From there, you'll complete an Apprenticeship Application and Agreement with the employer and Apprenticeship Manitoba.
