Applicants applying to these programs will be expected to commit to an apprenticeship that ranges from 4,600-9,000 hours (2 to 5+years) depending on the apprenticeship type. Apprentices are trained by licensed IBEW, Local 353 journeypersons on job sites and in the field so they can gain valuable work experience. Apprentices will have the opportunity to be dispatched to work sites located anywhere from Lake Ontario to Parry Sound in the north and from Oakville in the west to as far east as Trenton.

Throughout the apprenticeship an apprentice is required to attend trade school; participate in supplemental training classes; and take industry specific safety courses. This combined with paid on-the-job training the apprentice is prepared to pass their Certificate of Qualification (C of Q) and become a fully licensed 309A or LRR Electrical Journeyperson or Network Cabling Specialist.
