“On top of that if a student, you know, is performing really well, the employer likes what they see, the student is obviously enjoying the experience, that’s when I get involved as an OYAP recruiter and speak to all interested parties and students can actually start their apprenticeship now as early as 15 years old – as early as the transition summer between grade 10 and 11 through a summer school co-op.
There are 178 students currently participating in the OYAP program with 11 having already signed apprenticeship contracts this year. Pudlis says he is regularly making presentations at the board’s high schools to promote skilled trades as a viable option.“I go in and talk about wages, all the opportunities in skilled trades. I tell them that by 2025, which right now for a lot of those students that’s right around the time they’ll be graduating high school or should be on track to graduate high school, the need in Ontario is over 100,000 skilled trades workers. Across the country, it’s over 1.25 million.
