7 - Trades, Transport & Equipment Operators

If you're seriously looking to get into a trade, phone a contractor that does that type of work and ask them if they are looking for people to help out. Right after I graduated from high school I went to Black and McDonald and they hired me as a summer helper. I helped the workers - carrying equipment and tools for them.

Then I went to Red River for the 10-month pre-employment course. I learned the skills that I needed to start working in the field. After the Red River course, Black and McDonald signed me up through the Apprenticeship Board.
