In Nova Scotia, you may register as a youth apprentice if you're 16 to 19 years of age and work part or full-time in one of Nova Scotia's designated trades. There is no fee to register. As a youth apprentice, you can earn while you learn, get a head start in a career in the trades and complete high school, all at the same time. And, you get exposure to the trades through the direct supervision and mentoring of a certified journeyperson.
Youth apprenticeship is promoted through an initiative called Workit. Workit Youth Apprenticeship can provide you with the opportunity to explore a designated trade, and actively encourages you to experience the trades through community-based learning options in the public schools system, such as co-operative education placements and Options and Opportunities (O2). If you participate in these activities, you are eligible to receive apprenticeship credit leading to future apprenticeship certification.
