Program Details

The program runs for approximately 27 weeks (including a paid job placement). Participants receive General Carpenter Level 1 Apprenticeship training, along with secondary trade exposure in the Horticulture Technician trade from Mohawk College. Landscape Ontario will be playing an advisory role for Horticulture. In addition, job search and job maintenance training will be provided in order to assist participants to develop skills for successful employment.

Some safety equipment and tools are also provided prior to a paid work placement component, where students continue their learning in the field. The majority of training and employment will take place in Hamilton; however, work placements can be made available province-wide.
