TRADES TRAINING PROGRAMS - LEVEL ONE (Foundation)
WHAT IS IT?
Level 1 Trades Training is the first step in education/training to prepare students for employment/apprenticeship in the trade area of their choice.
Level 1 includes instruction (20% school) and apprenticeship hours (80% hands on).
Upon completion of a Foundations program, students receive their Level 1 training certification and may seek employment as apprentices to gain on the job experience.
