Industrial Electrician - Apprenticeship in St. Lawrence College

Overview

The Apprenticeship Training Program is the preferred route to becoming an Industrial Electrician. Apprentices are employed and earning a wage, while learning.

You are indentured to an employer who must agree to provide the training required in the Apprenticeship Training Standards. You must attend all classes of instruction, pass all examinations required, and fulfill the terms of the contract to receive your Ontario Certificate as a qualified Journeyperson Industrial Electrician.

You will receive an Apprenticeship Training Standard Book outlining the training objectives or areas of competency to be learned on the job. These competencies are necessary in order to function in the trade as a skilled worker or ‘Journeyperson’.

This program is funded in part by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development. 

Highlights

An Industrial Electrician is a person who: 

• lays out, assembles, installs, repairs, connects and tests electrical fixtures, apparatus, control equipment and wiring for alarm, light heat or power systems in buildings and other industries
• plans installations from blueprints, sketches, specification and installs all electrical and electronic devices
• troubleshoots and systematically diagnoses and corrects faults in electrical or electronic systems and equipment by repairing, programming or replacing electrical or electronic components as required
• measures, cuts, threads, bends, assembles and installs conduits and other electrical conductor enclosures; splices and terminates electrical conductors
• tests electrical and electronic equipment for proper function

Before, during and after the in-school portion, apprentices work to complete the on-the-job training objectives or areas of competency of their apprenticeship. After completing Advanced, as well as the job training competencies, apprentices are eligible to write the C. of Q. examination to qualify as a journeyperson. The entire process usually takes four to five years.
