Program Overview
New Canadians who want to start apprenticeship training but may have trouble finding a sponsoring employer have a new path to their career goals. Centennial College offers its Automotive Service Technicians Pre-Apprenticeship training program at no cost to people who want to work in the automotive trades.
In 2008, the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities also selected Centennial to offer the Pre-Apprenticeship program in Truck and Coach Technician.
Centennial will help students arrange a 12-week job placement working in the related repair garage, car dealership, or truck operation. Apprenticeship is a major employment growth area due to the large number of skilled workers who are set to retire. The government is offering significant tax credits, scholarships and signing bonuses to encourage more hiring of apprentices for skills training.
Graduates will receive credit for Truck and Coach Technician Level 1 or Automotive Service Technician Level 1, which exempts them from some classes in the traditional apprenticeship program.
