Congratulations to winners and participants, a great confidence and skill building event. Hope to see some of you on Canada’s Handyman Challenge one day!
Most of these kids that joined, will not be working the trades they learned. A sad reality of the world we live in. Not many takes in apprentice anymore as most leaves after they reach their hours causing most companies to give up on that.
What you say is true … there are not enough apprenticeships to sustain our economic well being … our household knows from first hand experience … however, do NOT underestimate the impact of these programs … our student whom completed CTC Electrical at CNC and could not find an apprenticeship upon completion just today received his Engineers’ iron ring as an Electronics Engineer. The program was pivotal in his choices. One door closes and another opens.
I would assume they leave for better pay or because they are not treated well. Some, not all companies use apprentices as a form of cheap labour.
Yeah these days companies expect taxpayers to pay for apprentices training.
