Skilled Trades Employment Program

I found myself frustrated with finding employment as an #apprentice with minimum electrical experience. #STEP REPS Susan was amazingly encouraging and supportive—she helped build my confidence in accomplishing my goal to become an apprentice. I now have my dream job and am learning in a safe, supportive environment. Thank you to Susan and the STEP team for walking beside me during my journey!

#STEP REPS Dave helped me start my #apprenticeship as an #electrician. He helped tailor my resume which resulted in landing an apprenticeship only two weeks after graduating. I can’t say enough about how this program is helpful to start an apprenticeship, especially for people who don’t know the area, the trade, or have financial struggles. Thanks for everything Dave, and the STEP team.

#STEP REPS Susan worked with me to help make my resume more trades focused, enrolled me in First Aid and WHMIS courses to brush up my skills, and set me up for success in the industry. Not only did she help me find a job, but after gaining my first experience being laid off, she supported me to no end and helped me secure a new job better suited to me. Thanks to Susan and the STEP program, I am now on a wonderful career path with an amazing company that I love.
