In additional to its overall goal of expanding apprenticeship training in Ontario, the provincial government specifically earmarked $45 million to buy state-of-the-art equipment essential for technical training. Apply your technical know-how in an industrial or plant setting, assembling, testing, installing and maintaining electrical and electronic components and systems.
Humber teaches you technical theory and skills in the three levels of in-school training allocated toward your apprenticeship. Industrial electricians are skilled workers who can perform a wide range of tasks including: lay out, assemble, install, repair, maintain, connect or test electrical fixtures, apparatus, control equipment and wiring for electrical systems; plan installations from blueprints, sketches, specifications and install all electronic devices; systematically diagnose faults in electrical and electronic systems and equipment, and repair or replace electrical and electronic components; measure, cut, thread, bend, assemble and install conduits and other electrical conductor enclosures; splice and terminate electrical conductors, and test electrical and electronic equipment for proper function.

Apprentices in the Electrician: Industrial Apprenticeship program serve a 9,000-hour apprenticeship with 840 hours allocated toward three levels of in-school training.
On completing in-school training, apprentices are issued a Certificate of Apprenticeship from Humber Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning. When on-the-job training is finished as well, apprentices are eligible to write the Ontario Certificate of Qualification trade exam. Those attaining a minimum of 70 per cent are eligible to work in other provinces participating in the Red Seal program.
Non-academic admission criteria may also be required.
Note: This apprenticeship is regulated by the Apprenticeship and Certification Act.
Applicants are required to register through their local Apprenticeship Branch Office of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU).
The Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program is now offered by some Ontario school boards. This program allows you to complete high school while working part-time as a registered apprentice. To see if you are eligible, contact your guidance counsellor or technical director for more information.
