The Electrical Technology program is accredited with Apprenticeship Manitoba. To qualify for accreditation, a student must achieve an overall average of 70% or higher across all eight credits, they will receive recognition for level one technical (in-class) training in the three electrical trades: 1) Construction Electrician, 2) Industrial Electrician, and 3) Power Electrician. A student must then become a registered apprentice with an employer and complete the remaining required practical hours.
Practical (on-the-job) training hours can be acquired through the High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) – a high school work practicum recognized by Apprenticeship Manitoba. These hours can be earned during evenings, weekends, or school breaks.
