Once selected for the program, successful candidates are placed in a pool. As jobs become available, people in the pool are contacted (a minimum of 2 weeks prior) to attend Safety and Orientation (S & O). Selection from the pool is completely random. Once the 2 week Safety and Orientation is successfully completed, an apprentice will then be dispatched by the IBEW, LU 353 to a Greater Toronto ECA member company and the pre-apprenticeship begins.
