7 - Trades, Transport & Equipment Operators

After I graduated from high school I took a year off because I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do. I worked for a year at Canadian Tire, which was a good thing. I didn't want to jump into something that I didn't want to do.

While at Canadian Tire, I took the nine-month full time Automotive Technician Certificate course at Red River. We had an internship program for two weeks twice during the course. My first placement was at St. James Volkswagen and the second at Canadian Tire, where I transferred from the store to the shop.
