6 Training Service Catalogue

Contract Training Services UCN has created a presence in many northern communities, which has allowed the institution to develop a portfolio of programs and courses specifically designed to meet the needs of the North.

Through contract training, programs and courses are designed to meet the needs of industry, business, government and community organizations to support economic and community development. With client groups, we help to determine current and future training needs and address those needs by delivering customized, quality programming. Since contract training is client-centred, the needs of our client groups determine what training will be delivered, where it will be delivered, when it will be delivered and how it will be delivered.

We offer customized training.

UCN will deliver programs, courses and seminars designed to meet specific needs. We pay careful attention to challenges and develop programming that reflects organizational objectives, as well as those of employees.

Whether you want to learn more about UCN’s wide range of training programs listed in this catalogue, or wish to inquire about customized training, please contact one of our community education coordinators or UCN Regional Centres.

“One thing worse than training an employee and have them leave,

is not training them and have them stay!”

APPLIED COUNSELLING SKILLS This certificate program is currently under review and further development.

APPRENTICESHIP TRAINING Apprenticeship is a training program that leads to certification as a journeyperson in more than 50 trades and sub-trades designated in Manitoba.

The Process

Apprenticeship training varies from two to five levels, depending on the trade. The average length of apprenticeship training is four levels. For each level, apprentices spend 80% of their time learning practical skills on the job. The remaining 20% is for technical training which is usually four to 10 weeks of in-school training.

In order to begin, the prospective apprentice or employee must find work with an employer who has a journeyperson on staff and who is willing to indenture the employee as an apprentice. A legal agreement is drawn up between the employer and employee, with the assistance of the Apprenticeship Branch of Manitoba Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade.

Earn While Learning

Although apprentices will be required to pay for a small portion of their in-school/technical training tuition costs, they earn an income while they learn. The rest is left up to the Apprenticeship Branch who is responsible for arranging technical learning and funding more than 90% of the in-school/technical training costs. During the apprenticeship, the apprentice will be required to attend periods of classroom instruction at UCN. Technical training includes theory and special skills of the trade. While attending the university college, apprentices may qualify for employment insurance (EI) benefits or a training allowance. More detailed information about EI is available from local employment centres.

In-School/Technical Training

Apprenticeship in-school/technical training is offered annually in several full-time day programs at University College of the North. The following apprenticeship in-school/technical training programs are available to indentured apprentices at UCN: Carpentry, Industrial Electrical and Industrial Mechanics (Millwright).

Certification

Upon completion of on-the-job and in-school training, the apprentice will write a certification exam that, if successfully completed, will result in certification as a journeyperson. A Certificate of Qualification, along with an Interprovincial Standards Red Seal endorsement, is also issued. The Interprovincial Standards Red Seal program was established to provide greater mobility for skilled workers and also encourages the standardization of provincial/territorial training and certification programs.


For the majority of apprenticeship programs, it is required that applicants have a high school diploma or equivalent academic standing. Because apprenticeship trades involve technical components, it is important to have high school credits and math and science. Those with mature student status--more than 19 years of age--regardless of completed grade level, may be required to participate in an assessment process. Graduates from a college pre-employment program, Senior Years


Apprenticeship Option, or an accredited high school vocational program may qualify for time and/or level credits in an apprenticeship program.

To enter apprenticeship training, a person must first find an employer who is willing to enter into an apprenticeship agreement and provide the on-the-job practical skills development. In order to register as an apprentice, an Apprenticeship Application/Agreement must be completed and submitted to the Apprenticeship Branch of Manitoba Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade. The Apprenticeship Branch will provide information and assistance on establishing apprenticeship agreements, monitoring the practical skills development, and in making arrangements for apprenticeship in-school/technical training.

Note: Companies will usually set/establish their own minimum educational requirements for their apprentices.
