MY JOB
Hands on training
I did my apprenticeship through Manitoba Hydro, going through their Competency Based Training (CBT) at the Stonewall Training Centre.
The training is all hands on. You learn all the different tools and techniques. You learn how to use field test equipment and how to operate equipment like bucket trucks and manlifts. You even practise going up and down inside the bucket, so being comfortable with heights is definitely an asset!
